Station Seilbahn

The bottom station of the aerial tramway to Kölner.

The white dome in the center of the parking place is a ventilation shaft and also lights the Dorfbahn engine room which is just under the dome.

The engine room at Station Seilbahn.

Very classical funicular engine room with on the foregroung, from left to right, two big yellow pulleys with disk brakes, the reduction gear and the engine on the right (outside the photo).

On the background, from left to right, the entrance of the tunnel and the red control room.
