There has recently been invented ana
l,ut in operation in the mountains near
3alZburS, Germany, a balloon railroad
1t consists Of a stationary balloon,
which is fastened to a slide running
along single steel rail. The rail is
fastened to the tide of a steep noun
tain, which ordinary railroads could
not climb, excerpts through deep cuts
and tunnels. The balloon floats about
- feet over the ground, and Il heavy
steel cable connects it with the rail.
Til" conductor can, al will, make the
balloon slide up and down the side of
the mountain. For going mp the motive
power IS furnished by hydrogen gas,
while the descent is caused by pressure
Of water, which is poured into q lalgc
tank al the upper end of the road, ana
which :erVes as ballast. Suspended
from the balloon is a circular car with
arcommoda tions for ten passengers
The cable goes from the bottom of the
balloon through the center of the ear
to II regulator of speed which is con
trolled by the conductor.
