Monongahela Freight Incline

The Monongahela Freight Incline was a funicular railway that scaled Mount Washington in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States.

It had a unique 10 ft (3,048 mm) broad gauge that would allow vehicles, as well as walk-on passengers, to ascend and descend the hill.

The cars were hoisted by a pair of Robinson & Rea engines.

[3] The older passenger incline, which was built in 1870, is one of two inclines still serving South Side Pittsburgh today, out of a total of seventeen that were built during the nineteenth century.

Passengers can see concrete pylons remaining from the freight incline during the descent.
