Artillería funicular railway, Funicular railway in Valparaíso, Chile

The Artillería funicular is a hillside railway linking the lower city with Artillería hill. Its current line, opened in 1908, runs on four rails with two independent machine rooms, the only funicular in Valparaíso with that layout. The track is 175 meters long and climbs 80 meters at a 27.5-degree slope. The lower station faces Plaza Wheelwright beside the Customs building; the upper station is on Paseo 21 de Mayo, opposite the former Naval School, now the Naval and Maritime Museum.

The third funicular built in Valparaíso, it was inaugurated on 29 December 1892 but only entered service on 22 January 1893, delayed by a lack of water to run the machinery. Its success led designer Ernesto Onfray to add a second line, opened on 14 February 1908. The original line stopped in 1968 after the Naval School moved to Playa Ancha.

The funicular's name comes from the Artillería hill it climbs, and its lower station faces Plaza Wheelwright beside the Aduana building. Since May 2021 it has been out of service, so the cars no longer carry passengers; the upper station stands on Paseo 21 de Mayo, opposite the former Naval School, now the Naval and Maritime Museum.

The funicular has been out of service since May 2021, so it cannot be ridden; the lower station stands in front of Plaza Wheelwright beside the Aduana building, and the upper station is on Paseo 21 de Mayo, opposite the former Naval School, now the Museo Naval y Marítimo. The 175-metre track climbs to a height of 50 metres on a 27.5-degree slope.

The old first line, replaced by the second in 1908, stopped running in 1968 after the Naval School moved to Playa Ancha and ridership fell; its abandoned car was later stripped by vandals. The surviving line has been out of service since May 2021.
