The passing loop of the upper section is very interesting because each tram changes with its wheels the position of the point encountered when it leaves the passing loop, this in order to enter the same track when going back. In order to check the regular position of the point before entering the passing loop, the driver of the tram number 6 is looking for the white disc with the figure 6 applied to the lever of the point and the driver of the tram number 7 is looking for the white disc with the figure 7. This ingenious system reveals that the points designed by the Swiss designer Carl Roman Abt are absolutely useless in order to enter a passing loop. Many single track funiculars in Switzerland, Italy, Germany and so on have Abt points, but in order to have the cabins circulating on such points, they have to be provided with wheels with two flanges on a side and without flanges on the other side
