The object of the invention is a system for pushing or retaining a train on the steep slopes of a railway line by using a haulage cable and an assist vehicle. The system is composed of a railway line of a low slope with a train formation (5) and of a short railway line parallel thereto with a push/retain assist vehicle (3), both lines being connected by a railway switch (1); the joined line starts from the railway switch (1) along the length of the train formation (5) with a low slope and then passes to a steep slope, wherein the route of the push/retain assist vehicle (3) is a straight line (2) in the entire length; the push/retain assist vehicle (3) is fitted and fixed to the pull cable (4); on the upper section, the railway line passes from a steep slope to a line of a low slope; an engine-generator of the system (6) is located at the upper slope transition and has a bullwheel for pulling the cable (4) and regulators, whereas the procedure of downhill drive retaining is mirrored.
