BÜRGENSTOCK-BAHN (Switzerland). Postcard by Globetrotter, Luzern, 02316.

[The Bürgenstock railway (German: Bürgenstock-Bahn; BB) is a funicular railway in the canton of Nidwalden, Switzerland. Track lengt: 944 metres (3,097 ft); track gauge: 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in); Maximum incline: 58%. The line links the landing stage at Kehrsiten-Bürgenstock, served by the regular passenger boats of the Schifffahrtsgesellschaft des Vierwaldstättersees, with the Bürgenstock resort and its famous hotels. The railway was opened in 1888 and was originally a water-ballast funicular with an Abt rack braking rail. Today the funicular is electric and automatic, but it still uses the original cabins. The line has been closed since November 2011 whilst work is undertaken to create a new luxury resort at its upper station, and it is not expected to reopen until the summer of 2014.]
