With a long
introduction, the author summarizes the evolution of the concept
 of
Funicular and of “Teleféricos” later
to describe each and every of the existing facilities in Spain for
public service, besides all those not realized projects and that the
author located, organized all of them for areas in which these means
of transport had major presence, and a set of solitary them in his
environment.
From the
first “Funicular del Tibidabo”,
constructed already one century ago, up to those of the last
generation (Funicular of Vallvidrera,
in Barcelona, or the most recent, that of
Bulnes, in Asturias) the technology and the history of this
system of transport, minority but effective to save big differences,
complements itself in the book with the history of the
teleféricos constructed in Spain and
the projects, some rather Utopian, that tried to be constructed.
Definitively, a good book that it does of reference to the whole
branch of the interest to the railroad that is interested by more
curious and less common aspects of the relative thing to the
railroad. |
