Duquesne Incline

The Duquesne Incline (pronounced "doo-KANE")

We went back in time on a century-old cable car to see the best views of downtown Pittsburgh. Opened in 1877, the incline was intended to carry cargo up and down Mt. Washington, it later carried passengers, particularly Mt. Washington residents who were tired of walking up the steep footpaths to the top. The Duquesne Incline was rescued and restored by a group of local residents in 1963 retaining the original, elegant, wooden cable cars.

We experienced watching the machinery in operation as the cable car descended.

From the observatory deck we had spectacular panoramic views of Pittsburgh and it’s three rivers and a statue of Seneca leader Guyasuta reunited with George Washington.
