Mühleggbahn is a funicular in the city of St. Gallen, Switzerland. It leads from a lower station south of the old town, near the abbey, at 676 m, to Mühlegg at 747 m in St. Georgen.[3][note 1] The 323 m-long[3] line functions as an inclined elevator with a single car, 287 m in a tunnel. Journey time is ca. 90 seconds.[6]
The funicular is owned by "Mühleggbahn AG" and operated by Verkehrsbetriebe St. Gallen.[7]
History
When opened in 1894, the line worked as a water counterbalancing funicular with two cars and a passing loop. Water was drawn from Mühleggweiher at its upper station.[7]
The system was replaced in 1950 with a rack railway[4] that operated until 1975.[7][8]
On 7 May 1975 (1975-05-07), it was reopened as a funicular.[8] The car was replaced in 2004[7] and 2018, tracks in 2018.
