Those engines use one ton of coal and 1000 gal of water for each climb. Fireman is kept pretty busy on the way up which takes over an hour. Ride down is free of course thanks to gravity. The brakes on the car I was on were fully capable of stopping the car and it's not attached to the engine. They've been doing this since 1869. The last engine was purchased in 1984 (I think).
