>>977647Through a forum post I read about this peoplemover in Laon in France, the Poma 2000, which looks like a funicular but isn't.
It consists of two sections, the lower flat section with one car and the steep upper section, which normally runs two cars that meet in a middle passing loop, similar to a funicular. Unlike funiculars, the cables on both sections are continuous loops; at the station between the sections the cars grab from one cable to the other and can run the entire line that way. Also the cars always run on the left side of the passing tracks, as they switch cables and don't tangle them up.
It will also shut down and be replaced by a bus this September.
Instead of our four-car-funicular in most cases a cable car would be an easier solution.
>Does JBSS have an option like don't let the lines cross or something?It's a sandbox simulation of railway networks in general, not funiculars, so it doesn't consider cables at all. You just can make it look like a funicular by letting the cars depart simultaneously and making the segments the same lenght.
