Did you know?
The Černý Důl freight cable railway is the longest freight cable railway in Central Europe, running from the limestone quarry in Černý Důl to the processing plant in Kunčice nad Labem. It was built between 1959 and 1963 to transport limestone from the quarry in Černý Důl to the plant in Kunčice nad Labem. It uses a twin-rope endless haulage system with a transport capacity of up to 135 tonnes/hour. The cable railway runs downhill, taking advantage of the difference in elevation between Černý Důl and Kunčice nad Labem. To set it in motion, full trolleys must be on the so-called full side. Once the cable railway is moving, the full side begins to “pull” the empty side, allowing the empty trolleys to move towards Černý Důl. The electric motor that sets the cable railway in motion then acts as a brake while also generating electric energy for part of the operating equipment of the Černý Důl quarry.
