Great pair of photos, Ruth. This must’ve been a marvel when it first began operation. I wonder how many of these are still working here in the US? Loading... Reply
It reminds me of the Funicular in Quebec City… I guess that is French for cable railway. It is always fun to ride up . Loading... Reply
Great photos Ruth! It might be a dull day, but at least the grass is greening up nicely. And, the Monongahela Incline is an awesome subject. Loading... Reply

What a great reminder of the Petrin Funicular Train in Prague. It opened in 1891.
