The Duquesne Incline is a treasured historical attraction, offering a journey back in time with an unparalleled view of Pittsburgh’s skyline. Since its opening in 1877, it has become one of the last operational inclines in the United States, showcasing the original, elegant wooden cable cars that have been transporting residents and tourists alike. Thanks to the efforts of dedicated locals in 1963, this incline was preserved and continues to operate, allowing visitors to not only ride these historic cars but also to peek inside the machinery that powers them. At the top, the upper station doubles as a museum, offering a glimpse into Pittsburgh’s past and a comprehensive look at the history of inclines worldwide.
