 Every line was created to continuously slope in the direction of the village, therefore horses (and later locomotives) were required only to distribute the empty carriages in the morning, and then, when the cars were loaded, they were only needed to be braked by a brakeman, the gravity successfully carried the cars down.Throughout its history before 2000, the Kemence Forest Railway was never meant to transport passengers.There were no settlements around the railroad, and the forestry was not interested in creating a tourist railway.
