I went with my family before they shuttered the old funicular. The old funicular was expensive to maintain and prone to interruption by falling rocks. So they decided to scrap the old funicular and build a new one. However not everything worked out to plan. After all there was a two-year delay. They underestimated the difficulties the steep grades created. For example they had to tether all workers to ropes. Tools falling down turned into dangerous projectiles. Tunnel boring machines had to use a climbing contraption to bore literally upwards. An so on. By the way would have Elon Musk helped by combining his Boring Company and SpaceX to bore upwards?
