Click on words
Tourists flocked to ride the historic funicular, which had been operating for over a century, connecting the lower town to the hilltop castle.
As the funicular ascended, passengers marveled at the engineering feat that allowed the railway to climb such steep inclines.
What is a "funicular"?

A funicular is a type of railway system that uses two cars connected by a cable, which move on tracks that are usually built on steep slopes. One car goes up the hill while the other comes down, using gravity to balance the movement. The cable pulls the cars up and down the slope, making it easier to travel on steep terrain. Funiculars are often used in places with mountains or hills, such as tourist destinations or cities with hilly landscapes, to transport people quickly and efficiently.

What is a "concourse"?

What is a "rear end"?

A rear end is the back portion of a vehicle, including the bumper, taillights, trunk, and rear axle. It helps protect the vehicle's internal components and provides space for storage, such as in the trunk or cargo area. The rear end also plays a role in the vehicle’s safety, as it absorbs impact in case of a rear-end collision. The design of the rear end can influence the vehicle’s aerodynamics, stability, and appearance. It is an important part of the vehicle's overall structure and functionality.

What is "automatic number plate recognition"?

Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) is a technology that uses cameras and software to read and identify the license plates of vehicles. It captures images of number plates, then processes the information to compare with databases for tasks like checking vehicle registration or identifying stolen cars. This system is often used by law enforcement for monitoring traffic, enforcing regulations, or assisting in investigations. ANPR can be deployed in locations such as highways, parking lots, or at security checkpoints.
