OverviewThe line is {{convert|5.1|km|mi|1|abbr=on}} long and has a track gauge of {{track gauge|1000mm}}. It is a rack and adhesion railway, using the Strub rack system to overcome a height difference of {{convert|871|m|ft|0|abbr=on}}. Except for the terminal stations, which are operated in adhesion mode, the line has a gradient varying from 11% to 22%. The trains originally were drawn by steam locomotives. In the 1950s the line was electrified using an overhead line at 11000 V AC and 50 Hz, and service is provided by six electric railcars and three diesel locomotives.
