The cart seats 30 passengers and is powered by two engines—one at the front
and one at the rear—each a robust 2500cc diesel. Tempered glass panels are
built into the center of the floor, allowing you to watch the tracks rush by and
look straight down into the valley from the bridge’s highest point, a staggering
105 meters above the ground.
