Description
On Stryyskyy park’s upper terrace, in the south part of the Regional exhibition there was a cable railway station. From that point two carriages for 8 passengers each were moving on steel cables. The movement was provided for by a gas motor, the carriages went the distance and returned to the station with the same interval. The cable railway crossed the ravine more than 30 m deep and went down to a much lower level, covering the distance of about 200 m, dividing the oil and ethnographic sections. The slopes of the ravine were well-ordered and covered with greenery. We can see a big machine pavilion in the distance.
