A visit to Pittsburgh's Incline Railways
On September 9, 2023, I made a brief visit to Pittsburgh to see the city's iconic pair of funicular incline railways. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Pittsburgh was the epicenter of steel production in the United States. To move people and cargo from the city's riverside to the surrounding hilltops, a network of 17 inclines were built between 1864 and 1901. Today, only the Monongahela and Duquesne Inclines survive, still forming an important part of the city's transit network as well as being popular tourist attractions.
