text:
Eduard Locher was a Swiss engineer, inventor and independent contractor who received a doctorate honoris causa for his work. He devised the Locher rack railway system and built his privately owned Pilatus Railway that uses this system. The Locher rack system invented by Eduard Locher, has gear teeth cut in the sides rather than the top of the rail, engaged by two cog wheels on the locomotive. This system allows use on steeper grades than the other systems, whose teeth could jump out of the rack.
