I suppose if you model inclined cable railways, you would need none. I'm thinking of the 7,000' long Otis Elevating Railway in the Catskill Mountains during the late 1800's. Sure they were owned by the Catskill Mountain Railway that met them at the base station, but no locos ran on the inclined line. <br /> <br />Some logging operations used inclined tracks, raising & lowering log cars via steam-powerd cable winches. <br /> <br />Wayne
