I can't translate this sentence correctly, may be because I don't understand it.Help me please. "Ninguna ciudad ha registrado tantos carros avanzando a ras de cerro."

Now that we have more context:

a ras de cerro ... cable carts running at hill level.

a ras means at the level of...

example: a ras del suelo... at ground level

My attempt would be: None (of the other) city has registered so many (cable) cars moving at the level of the hill.
