ABSTRACT:
First and second cars are movable on an inclined track and adapted to bypass each other at an intermediate turnout of the track. A traction cable is trained around a reversing pulley at the upper end of the track and has two courses extending along the track and connected to respective ones of the cars and to move the cars in opposite directions along the track. Two sets of guide pulleys guide respective ones of said cable courses. The guide pulleys of each set are spaced along the track. The two sets of guide pulleys are disposed on opposite sides of the track therebelow and outside the rails thereof and guide the cable courses so that they extend on opposite side of the track outside the rails thereof.
