	Mountain railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A mountain railway is a railway that ascends and descends a mountain slope that has a steep grade.
		Mountain railways commonly have a narrow gauge to allow for tight curves in the track and reduce tunnel size, and hence construction cost and effort.
		Without a mountain railway system, on steep grades gravity can apply sufficient adhesion to the locomotives' wheels to overcome the friction between the wheels and the rails, and the locomotive will simply slide down the track.

	Cairngorm Funicular Railway: Scottish environment threatened by leisure development
		A funicular railway is to be built which will involve blasting the rock on the upper slopes of the 4th highest mountain in Scotland.
		Highlands and Islands Enterprise, in league with the Cairngorm Chairlift Company, are about to start blasting apart this very sensitive area of the Cairngorm mountain rock to build a funicular railway to a restaurant and access for skiers and tourists.
		Every single body and organisation (mountaineers, wildlife organisations, tourism bodies etc.) with a vested interest in the area and it's management as a recreational and ecological resource are totally against it.

		In order to prevent damage to the mountain and danger to the visitors, you can only travel on the CairnGorm Mountain Railway in summer on the basis that exit from the top station building housing the exhibition, shop, restaurant, viewing terrace etc to the surrounding mountain is not allowed.
		First, although construction did cause disturbance to the mountain that will take many years to disappear, for the first time in 40 years a real effort is being made to improve the environment of Coire Cas rather than simply use it.
		And second, we have a strong suspicion (but would be interested to hear from anyone able to prove this right or wrong) that the summers since 2002 have been the quietest that the summit of Cairn Gorm has seen in many years.

		This all changed in December 2001 with the opening of the CairnGorm Mountain Railway, a funicular that replaced the 40 year-old chair lifts.
		The proposed railway was extremely controversial because people feared that the impact on Cairn Gorm would be even worse than that of the chairlifts.
		The solution is a "closed system" in which summer visitors using the railway to access a much larger top station and restaurant are not allowed out onto the mountain, though they can enjoy it from a large viewing terrace.

	Cairngorm Mountain Railway - Review - Reach Out And Touch The Sky
		It’s the mountains and surrounding scenery that attract countless thousands of visitors to the Cairngorm area of the Scottish Highlands every year, both as tourists in the Summer, and in the winter season, to ski on the mountain’s snow covered slopes.
		As well as the two kilometre railway itself, the top and base stations were totally revamped, and the top station now houses a vastly improved bar and restaurant called the Ptarmigan, (the highest in the UK) and a fascinating exhibition about the mountain and its environment.
		I bought a rather good print of the mountains that I intend to frame from their large selection, and if reading is your thing, then there is a plethora of books about the Cairngorms and the surrounding region.

	Scotland on Sunday - Scotland - Anger as walkers hit by rail lock-out
		TOURISM minister Mike Watson was under pressure last night to scrap restrictions on the new Cairngorm mountain railway which prevent walkers getting on or off the funicular at the top of the mountain.
		But it has also emerged that walkers who have made it up the mountain under their own steam are forbidden from entering the station to use the cafe, shop and toilets.
		CairnGorm Mountain believes most of the passengers on the funicular, which is due to be formally opened by Watson on June 7, would have no intention of walking beyond the footpath network already in the ski area.
