Abstract

A bypass for a car of a circuit cable railway system, which is positioned at a turn-about station of the system between the incoming and outgoing lines of at least one revolving conveying cable. The bypass includes coupling points, disposed on incoming and outgoing tracks of the station, at which the car is decoupled from the conveying cable when entering the station and coupled to the conveying train cable when exiting the station. A conveying apparatus drives the car, which has been decoupled from the conveying cable, at a feeding velocity around the station on a station track, and accelerates movement of the car on the station track to enable the car to recouple with the conveying cable at the coupling point when exiting the station. The station track has an incoming portion at the location where the car enters the station and an outgoing portion at a location where the car exits the station. At least one turn-about wheel turns the conveying cable around to allow the one conveying cable to enter and exit the station. A side track is disposed between the incoming and outgoing portions of the station track, and a rotary switch, disposed on the station track, swivels to optionally direct the car to continue on the station track or to enter the side track. A control device controls the conveying apparatus and the rotary switch.
