Artist's Description
The Monongahela Incline Lower Station, with the two yellow and orange cable cars passing each other on the inclined plane track.
The Monongahela Incline near the Smithfield Street Bridge in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was initially designed by engineer John Endres of Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1870, as public transportation for the working-class Germans living atop the steep Mt. Washington hillside. Today, it is one of two funiculars still in operation in Pittsburgh, and they are the number one tourist attraction in the city.
This incline is the oldest continuously operating funicular in the United States and the first incline explicitly designed for passenger use. The track is 635 feet long and rises 368 feet in height, and with its 35-degree grade, this is one of the steepest inclines in the world.
The Monongahela Incline was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. In addition, it was designated a Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark in 1977.
