Its a good thing climate change isn't real and this isn't a preview for the future of every wildfire-prone area.

Found this old post I made back in 2011 in AI's Locomotive thread while hunting for an image for the funny thread. It deserves a repost here: What is this thing? It looks like a building or a boat, not a train.  What it is, is how you solve the problem of how to get barges bringing supplies from downriver up to the top of a dam for a new hydroelectric power plant under construction. The machine is a giant funicular that is powered by the dam itself. Here you can see the tracks and the machine at the top of the rail line, beginning its descent.  Down it comes. Note the two people standing next to it for a sense of scale.  Also, the two large platforms sticking out the top are part of the machine, too. They connect the machine to the power lines running alongside the tracks, like the trolley pole on a tram:  Doesn't even pause, but goes straight in!  Close-up, here you can see the massive gear wheels that propel it along.  Once all the way in, it comes to a stop and waits for the barges to float right on in.  And here they come. No special modifications are needed for the barges. Just straight in, no mess, no fuss.  Up we go! You can just make out the red turbines from the first barge sticking out over the top of the machine.  Big bastard, isn't it.  A close-up of the gears. I would not want to get caught up in those.  And because nothing is ever easy, the whole thing has to cross a road on its way up.  Once it finally gets to the top, the fun doesn't stop there. Obviously, it can't just open the front hatch and let the barges out, it's facing the wrong way. Cue the massive turntable:  Finally, sweet release!

Does that keep the barges floating during transport, or does it let all the water drain out and the barges sit on a hard surface?

Its already a spectacular amount of weight and that would just add insult to injury. I'd think as long as the barge bottom is uniformly supported it shouldn't be a problem.

Why not just have it open from both ends to stop the need to rotate it?

Inceltown posted:Why not just have it open from both ends to stop the need to rotate it? I'd guess because its not aligned with the waterway, but rather off to the side and thus needs to turn towards the water at the top. And at that point if you're turning it a little its not a major hassle to turn it all the way around (and who knows if there's perhaps multiple discharge angles available in which case full range of motion is quite useful). Edit: Ok, just checked it out on google maps. It seems the rotation track allows for the Funicular to be slid off the rail entirely into a holding bay (for repairs or whatever), so thats the likely reason.
