ABSTRACT:
A rescue vehicle 1 for a cable railway is conveyed above the passenger cars 2.sub.B, 2.sub.T on cable 4 in the direction of travel F. Its cabin 3 is hung on suspension tackle 5 which rides on the cable 4, and which can swing in the manner of a pendulum (5.sub.1). The rescue cabin 3 can be released from the suspension tackle 5 and lowered on at least three triangulated hoisting cables (6) to a rescue position at the level of a stranded passenger car 2.sub.B in order to pick up its passengers. A cable winch 7 with a single shaft and winches is mounted on the roof of the cabin, to synchronously wind in and pay out the hoisting cables.
