The Zagreb funicular
Running between the lower town and upper town of Zagreb Croatia, the Zagreb Funicular (Zagrebačka uspinjača) originally ran on steam but is now electric. It's reputedly the shortest public-transport funicular in the world, with its 66-meter journey taking just 64 seconds. It's also a national cultural monument, preserving the original appearance and construction.

Zagreb Funicular, Croatia
The Zagreb Funicular is the funicular in Zagreb, Croatia, The lower station is located on Tomiceva Street, while the other station is located at the base of Lotršcak Tower. It was opened in 1890 after just 2 years from getting the building permit. It is 66 meters long and it is the shortest funicular in the world! The trip is brief – lasting just 64 seconds, but it’s a fun ride and an efficient way to reach the Upper Town. The funicular is equipped with a hydraulic lift platform and an access ramp, so it’s a great option for visitors who can’t climb the stairs. Almost 125 years it has been transporting the citizens of Zagreb and its guests between the Upper and Lower Towns. Initially it had steam engines, which were substituted with electrical engines in 1934. Having in mind that it kept its original shape, constructional and most of the technical properties, it was given legal protection as a monument of culture.
In 1889 D.W. Klein, a contractor from Osijek, presented the idea for Zagreb’s funicular to the city council. Inspired by the funiculars in other European cities, Klein counted passersby climbing the wide, wooden stairs on Bregovita Street (now Tomiceva) to confirm that it was the busiest path between Zagreb’s Upper Town and Lower Town. Klein planned to fund the project, and in return, he was to keep the rights to the funicular for 40 years. His proposal was quickly approved, and the following year, on October 8, 1890, the funicular embarked on her maiden voyage. Today the funicular actually keeps itself pretty busy, it departs every ten minutes, seven days a week, from 6:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. It travels 4,000 kilometers a year and transports 750,000 passengers annually.

Climbing with the funicular (uspinjača) in Zagreb
Text from Wikipedia article:
The Zagreb Funicular is the funicular in Zagreb situated in Tomić Street, connecting the Ilica Street with Strossmayerovo šetalište (Strossmayer promenade) to the north. Its 66-metre (217 ft) track makes it one of the shortest public-transport funiculars in the world. The funicular was built in 1890 and has been in operation since April 23, 1893. Initially it had steam engines, which were substituted with electrical in 1934. Having in mind that it kept its original shape, constructional and most of the technical properties, it was given legal protection as a monument of culture.
The funicular runs on 1200 mm gauge rails, track length is only 66 m, but height difference is 30.5 m and inclination 52%. This makes it one of the shortest, but also one of the steepest funiculars in the world. It runs at a speed of 1.5 m/s, needing 55 seconds to cross the distance.

Zagreb In Your Pocket - Funicular (Uspinjača)
Built at the beginning of the 20th century, this 66m lift is quite possibly the shortest furnicular, or indeed any tracked transportation, in the world. Starting just off Ilica you can hitch a ride for 4kn up to the base of the Lotrščak Tower that guards the entrance to Gornji Grad, that is of course if you can't be bothered to spend 30 seconds climbing the steps that run up the side of the tracks. A boon for the lazy amongst us! Runs every 10mins.
