| The Lavra funicular was opened on 19 April 1884.
The original cars were using the water counterbalance system for propulsion.
After some time the line was converted to steam power. In 1915 electricity
did replace the steam.
In 1930 the line was converted. Both cars are motorized and electric
connected by two of the overhead wires. The other two overhead wires are
for the power supply. The driver of the ascending car does regulate the
speed.
