The introduction needs to specify the key differences between this and a funicular railway, as reading through several of the paragraphs it is unclear how the two types of railway differ. Should also compare cable railway.
There is some new information in this article, but the L&LCR, which is unquestionably a funicular railway, is powered by gravity, with the speed controlled by governors and manually applied brakes on the cars. The distinction between a funicular and a cable railway is that the latter does not have the cable permanently attached to the vehicles. (In the downward direction, presumably a cable railway also makes use of gravity?) Then there are pages about cable car (disambiguation), cable car (railway), etc... So it would be wise to consider and define how 'gravity railway' fits into this already highly confusing group of articles.
