Default Getting a barge over a dam

Pretty impressive. An inclined railway for boats.

I wonder what the top exit looks like?


It's shown at the bottom of the page. They appear to spin it 90 degrees
and run a down ramp at the top, presumably to float the barge.
Interesting to note, it appears to be running on the electricity produced
by the dam.
