So this video turned out to be a bit weird and I thought about not uploading it at all but then I thought some of you might still enjoy watching it! Let me know if it's the right kind of weird between the lost footage, intro song and 21:9 aspect video 🙂 Also, I hope you have a great start to 2025! -Lukas

No way, that's just around the corner, near my House😂
Nice explanation.
Nice explanation.
Great
das ist cool! danke fur die video!
Nice. I would ride up and down.
There's another such railway near me. The Drachenfelsbahn. It goes up the Drachenfels near Bonn. There's a castle ruin up there. We decided to walk, but it was interesting to watch the thing, for sure.
The Zacke 😍 It's kind of a must-ride if you are in Stuttgart.
Lose the horrible music.
Excellent vid. We've been meaning to check this out for awhile, very cool.
The steepest possible rackrail is 480‰ (48%) not 1000‰ (100%)
And the Zacke runs only a gradient of 180‰ with a bit to access the sheds reaching 200‰
There is also a Funicular in Stuttgart. Not quite as cool, as the Zacke, but also interesting
Well…another good one^^ My last ride in the Zacke is….oof, let me think…9 years ago? Ofc with the old high floor rolling stock..
I hate the city, but the Zacke is a must-ride, even for non-transit-enthusiasts.
What a cool tram. Loved the video, liked the 16:9 ratio, did not like the music.
