Steepest is an annual faq. May 79 'Modern Tramway': St Gervais - Chamonix - Vallorcine - Le Ch๏ฟฝtelard (ie the French side): 2 km at 1 in 11 (9%), adhesion. The line claims to be the world's steepest *railway*, but is beaten by some trams. I have a whole file on this. Other steep routes include the Hakone - Tozan mountain tram (Japan) and bits of the Lisboa tram system (AFAIK 1 in 6.9). -- Regards Roderick B Smith Rail News Victoria Editor
