The Abt rail system, developed in Switzerland in the 1880s, is a narrow gauge track that specializes in climbing inclines by using a 3rd track that is toothed.

The Oigawa Railway's Ikawa Line is the only Abt system in Japan.

You mean the special toothed tracks? Yeah, I couldn't find a good photo with both the train and the tracks.
