Dolderbahn

The Dolderbahn (Db or DBZ) is a long rack railway in the Swiss city of Zürich. The line is in Zürich's Hottingen and Fluntern suburbs on the south slope of the Adlisberg mountain. The lower terminus of the line is at ''Römerhof'', some from the city centre, where it connects with lines 3 and 8 of the Zürich tramway. The upper terminus at ''Bergstation Dolderbahn'' is adjacent to the Dolder Grand Hotel and the Dolder recreation area. Two intermediate stations, at ''Titlisstrasse'' and ''Waldhaus Dolder'', are also served.

The line is owned by the ''Dolderbahn-Betriebs AG'', which is itself 50% owned by the city of Zürich, and is operated on their behalf by the municipal transport operator ''Verkehrsbetriebe Zürich''. The line was opened in 1895 as a funicular railway, and converted to rack operation in 1973. Because of this history, it is still sometimes erroneously referred to as a funicular or cable car.
