I saw this and thought I'd share - A railway that goes UP more than it goes Down (110% grade!), just opened in Switzerland.

Flexible carriages
The barrel-shaped carriages adjust their floors so passengers can still stand upright while they climb towards the Alpine plateau at inclines of up to 110%.
The train, which will go into public service on Sunday, follows a 1,720-metre track, climbing or descending 743 metres. It reaches speeds of up to ten metres per second. The whole trip lasts around four minutes.
