Treib–Seelisberg railway

The Treib–Seelisberg railway (German: Treib–Seelisberg-Bahn; TSB) is a funicular railway in the canton of Uri, Switzerland. The line links Treib, on Lake Lucerne, with Seelisberg on the mountain 330 m above. At Treib the funicular connects with regular passenger boats of the Schifffahrtsgesellschaft

des Vierwaldstättersees, which connect it to Lucerne and other lakeside communities. The line was granted its concession in 1910, with construction starting in 1914 and the line was opened in 1916. The current cars were supplied in 1965 and refurbished in 1992, whilst the control system was replaced in 1996.
