The National Hurricane Center's Tropical Cyclone Reports contain comprehensive information on each tropical cyclone, including synoptic history, meteorological statistics, casualties and damages, and the post-analysis best track (six-hourly positions and intensities). Tropical cyclones include depressions, storms and hurricanes. ScaleTraxT by M.T.H. Electric Trains is the ultimate track system that detail-oriented 3-rail modelers have been looking for. No longer will an O Gauge modeler have to accept excessively tall or heavy-looking track, because ScaleTrax offers maximum accuracy and the exceptional quality of M.T.H.

The Gelmer Funicular is a cable railway in the canton of Bern, Switzerland. It links a lower terminus at Handegg, in the Haslital (the valley of the upper Aar River), with an upper terminus at the Gelmersee lake.[1][2]

The Gelmerbahn was the steepest funicular in Switzerland and Europe, until the opening of the new Stoos Funicular in 2017. The Handegg terminus of the line is close to the road over the Grimsel Pass. It is accessible by car and by an infrequent PostBus service.[1][2][3] It is technically not a funicular, which has two cars that counterbalance each other, but is propelled by a winch.

History[edit]

The funicular was originally built to facilitate the construction of the Gelmersee, a reservoir, constructed in 1926 in order to exploit the hydroelectric resources of the area and was not opened for public use until 2001. The line is owned and operated by Kraftwerke Oberhasli AG (KWO) which owns the power station.[1][2]

Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Richard Hucklebridge:

Spoke with Dave A. today about his observations of numerous human type footprints of different sizes while he and his family were on a deer hunting trip in 1982. These tracks were observed when they had hiked a considerable distance from their campsite. The approximate location is in a mountainous area located north and west of Williams, Arizona, and between twenty to thirty miles south of the Grand Canyon.
Dave said the tracks still had sharp edges on them when they were first observed. So, Dave put one of his size twelve boots into one of the larger tracks, and the boot only filled it up about half way. He estimated the track to be about twenty-four inches long. Dave was impressed with the depth of the track, because he himself weighed in at well over two hundred and twenty pounds and he could not even come close to duplicating its depth.
His nephew who also witnessed the prints said they were probably just a hoax, but Dave thinks that they had hiked a little to far for anyone to have had the expertise and/or the wherewithal to fake that many prints of different sizes and to that depth.
I do believe that Dave saw bigfoot tracks of different sizes, because he has spent a great deal of time hunting and knows the differernt animal tracks that are found in his hunting areas. This report could have been a class A report if pictures and/or a cast had been made of the different tracks.
