Castle Shannon Incline : ウィキペディア英語版 | Castle Shannon Incline The Castle Shannon Incline was a funicular railroad in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was originally built in 1890 as part of the Pittsburgh and Castle Shannon Railroad as a means of transporting passenger traffic over Mt. Washington in concert with the Castle Shannon South Incline, rather than using the Pittsburgh and Castle Shannon Tunnel through Mt. Washington, which used a former coal mine. The mine continued to be used as a tunnel to transport coal to a separate incline that unloaded at a station on Carson Street. The incline ran from Bailey on Mt. Washington to Carson Street and Arlington.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://members.tripod.com/~riid/inclines.html )〕 Its large cars were able to carry both passengers and automobiles. Originally steam powered, it was converted to electrical operation in 1918 by the Otis Elevator Company.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://memory.loc.gov/pnp/habshaer/pa/pa3400/pa3483/data/pa3483.pdf )〕 The incline was closed 21 June 1964.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.angelfire.com/ny/tramstop/overbrook.html )〕 The former route of the incline is partly replaced by East Sycamore Street.〔 〕 == See also ==
