Does that mean at the time of my visit it was no longer a funicular

Given those cars seem to be articulated as well, when does a funicular
become a funicular and stop being a cable hauled railway?
The cars aren't articulated in a conventional sense.
Do they have "two or more sections connected by a flexible joint"?
(sorry - yes, that is pedantic, but I couldn't think of a better word
at the time, and you clearly understood my meaning)
No. They are short, single, almost certainly four-wheeled, cars, so
definitely not articulated. They have tilting floors to compensate for the
highly variable incline on the line.
