What’s in the image is (catenary) cable but funiculars use a counterbalanced mechanical cable system
edit: oh, do you mean the cable laid in the tracks? That’s the cable hoist - but the cars aren’t counterbalanced so it’s not a funicular, it’s just a cable-car. A meaninglessly pedantic distinction in the real world *but in this house we commit to the bitnope I was hoisted by my own pedanticard on this one, it’s a true funicular just in an arrangement I’ve never seen before.
Your source (~4:12) definitely looks like a regular counterbalanced funi. Also, we’re not talking about the overhead cable here, right? Because I mean the other one. The one where you can even see wheel-thingy turn as the cable moves. (No idea what English name for that is)
Yeah that’s the cable I was talking about, I didn’t think it was visible in the image but realized you can see it on the second track.
You’re right, though! This is a true funicular (a few people are saying it can drive single cars but operates primarily in couterbalance which I would kill to get to poke around the mechanical room to see how that works)

But you can see the cable even in your linked picture…

And that’s exactly how it should be 😄
