From.

Noun

 * 1)  A cable railway on an incline; especially one which operates with one vehicle on a single track.

Usage notes
An incline lift is sometimes contrasted with a funicular railway, which operates on two tracks (or with a passing loop), with a pair of vehicles counterbalancing each other. Informally, however, the distinction is usually contextual, with an incline lift being perceived as on a smaller scale.
