Abstract
To move a rail-borne vehicle ( ) over a preferably ascending partial section, a finite chain section ( ) is pulled in a stationary guide ( ) in parallel to the rail ( ) using a cable ( ). The vehicle ( ) engages the chain section ( ) via a chain hook ( ). The two ends ( ), ( ) of the cable ( ) are connected to the leading end ( ) of the chain section ( ). The vehicles ( ) can be moved rapidly with this cost-saving arrangement. It is also possible to overcome steeper uphill sections than in the state of the art (pull-up devices of roller-coasters).
