This is a list of funicular railways, organised by place within country and continent. The funiculars range from short urban lines to significant multi-section mountain railways.
A funicular railway is distinguished from the similar incline elevator in that it has two vehicles that counterbalance one another rather than independently operated cars.
(Russia is a transcontinental country spanning Europe and Asia. The funicular railway below is on the East Asian side, so is listed here.) (See: Europe/Russia section)
Thailand
Turkey
Turkey is in both Europe and Asia. The border between the two continents is the Bosphorus Strait. All the funicular railways in Turkey are on the European side of the Bosphorus Strait so they are listed under Europe. (See: Europe/Turkey section)
