Downhill Racer!

This is a second shot of the route taken by the “Elevador da Bica” one of the so typical Lisbon funiculars.
For the previous one (the shot was taken looking upwards whereas this one is looking on the opposite direction – downwards) see my post here:

The nineteenth century funicular ascends one of Lisbon’s steepest hills, between the riverside and Bairro Alto.

Bica is considered Lisbon’s most picturesque funicular, leading up to the Bica and Bairro Alto neighbourhoods, an area full of distinctive buildings, little shops and some nice restaurants. Bairro Alto, is nowadays one of the trendiest neighbourhoods in the city.

Built in 1892, the funicular was initially moved by the water counterbalancing system, whereby movement was achieved by loading the car at the top of the hill with water until it was heavy enough to descend the hill and pull up the other car at the bottom of the hill. In 1896 the Elevador da Bica became steam powered, and in 1924 it was electrified.
