Funiculaire du Havre, Funicular railway in Le Havre, France
The Funiculaire du Havre connects the upper and lower sections of Le Havre through a 770-meter track with two stations at different elevations.
Built in 1890, the funicular initially operated with steam coaches before transitioning to electric power in 1911, marking technological advancement in urban transportation.
The funicular stations integrate into the daily lives of Le Havre residents, serving as meeting points and orientation landmarks throughout the city.
Operating from 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM with departures every 6 to 10 minutes, the funicular carries over 1,300 passengers daily across a 77-meter elevation.
The funicular track features a steep 41% incline and includes a tunnel section, making it an engineering achievement for late 19th-century transportation systems.
