The rail line up the nearly-vertical mountain face to Lancre must be the most expensive few miles of track in the system and a tough test for Dick's locomotives. Coming down with a full load of timber sounds really frightening. Maybe part of the line is a funicular? --Old Dickens (talk) 23:13, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

The Compleat Discworld Atlas does emphasise that this is a branch line and you need to change trains at Ohulan. I get the picture that regular trains out of Ankh-Morpork and Zrmphis probably find it beyond their capacity and something more tailored to the terrain needs to take over - maybe even a funicular!
