About this creation
This is a minifig-scale cable-liner cable-drawn rapid transit system piloted with a RCX.

It is inspired from real life: I first saw it in a hotel in Reno, NV at the Circus-Circus.

The hotel consist of two buildings distant of approximatelly 600 ft from each other.

They are linked together by an automated shuttle train. There is two different tracks with one car on each track. The cars are pulled by a cable, pulleys and engines.

This MOC recreates this system with one wagon and one RCX.
