Two inclines - funiculars - remain in Pittsburg, which once had half dozen or more.

There is an H at the end of Pittsburgh. I knew one of the Operators of one of those inclines and the Engineer of the rebuild of the other one. One is the Mon incline, the other is the Duquesne incline. Another friend of mine rode the one from the Hill District near the Civic Arena down to the are near the Strip DIstrict. His father had a horse drawn produce wagon and watered the horses down where they stored the Police horses back in the day. If you should come to Pittsburgh, please ride one of the inclines. It's great fun. tom.
