Fatal Accident

Details about the accident may be worth mentioning and are to be found in back issues (archives) of the Montreal Gazette, or on microfilm preserved at the Montreal Public Library. Peter Horn 19:55, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Suspect dimensions

The official site gives "height 195 feet, length 210 feet, angle 45 degrees" which is inconsistent -- if the height is 195 feet at 45 degrees, the length is 275 feet. Or, if the length is 210 feet (more likely), then the height is only 148 feet.

A look at contour maps confirms this -- the Chateau Frontenac sits on the 60m contour line. The streets by the river have several benchmarks at around 8 meters, which gives a total from the lowest street to the Frontenac of 52 meters. Since the ends of the funicular are well above and below that, it cannot be 59 meters high. . . Jim - Jameslwoodward (talk to me • contribs) 14:53, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
