There's a couple of funicular lines near me that either are or used to be water powered. Aberystwyth's cliff railway used to use water tanks to move the cars (filling them at the top to haul the other car up) though it now uses an electric motor instead. The other one (which is water powered) is at the Centre for Alternative Technology near Machynlleth - they use it to haul visitors up from the carpark to the centre. There's a website for the Aberystwyth one at http://www.aberystwythcliffrailway.co.uk/ but the CAT just seem to regard theirs as a means of moving people rather than as an attraction in its own right - their website has little or no information on it!
