Hi everyone
I'd like to ask about the meaning of the phrase "took her luggage down the lift down to the track."

A woman is in the waiting area in the station. Then she goes to the train. The author writes as follows:

When Annabella took her luggage down the lift down to the track, she saw that the YZ100 was also smaller than usual. Most intercity trains these days were at least a dozen cars long, but the train she was taking today consisted only of two.

1. Is the lift here a machine that carries people or goods up and down to different levels in a building?
2. Does the author mean by saying 'Annabella took her luggage down the lift down to the track' that she entered the lift with her luggage and the lift went/moved down delivering her to the track?

yes lift is the same as an elevator (well i think, we use lift as the same meaning as an elevator)

You are correct in what you said in point 2. Annabella took her luggage down the lift which took her to the track..

i guess its the same as "Annabella took her luggage down the lift and onto the track" ..
