Is it already possible to remake? How complex would be the script? (Like, how much knowledge in C scripting I would need to have) I don't really think that anyone would do a script of the SoE cableway and share ir with everyone, but, I would like to know if it's possible already to do it.

It is possible, definitely. First you would use wraith to export the models, then place the train in radiant as a script_model. After that put in some clip brushes so the train has collision, make sure the clips are all script_brushmodels. As far as moving the train, you could set up a network of "path" nodes, which are script_origins, line them up evenly spaced apart, and make sure to rotate them when going around curves. That way you can rotate the train to the angles of the script_origins so it always faces the right way. The scripting would go something like: (pseudo)
This is off the top of my head, but this general method does work. Me and another mapper had this system pretty polished until my ssd failed, so I don't have any of the scripts or else I'd give them to you. Keep in mind you have to set up logic for the doors opening/closing, and for different paths the train will take. Again this script isn't complete by any means. This should get you started though.
