The Castle Shannon South Incline, also known as Castle Shannon Incline Number 2 was a funicular railroad in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was originally designed by Samuel Diescher,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://memory.loc.gov/pnp/habshaer/pa/pa3400/pa3483/data/pa3483.pdf )〕 and opened in 1892〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://members.tripod.com/~riid/inclines.html )〕 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 Incline, rather than using the Pittsburgh and Castle Shannon Tunnel through Mt. Washington, which used a former coal mine. The incline ran from Bailey Street on Mount Washington, and along Haberman Avenue, ending at Warrington Avenue on the southern side of the mount.〔http://www.brooklineconnection.com/history/Trolleys/PCSRR.html〕 The mine continued to be used as a tunnel to transport coal to a separate incline that unloaded at a station on Carson Street. It was originally steam powered. The incline was closed in 1914,〔http://pghbridges.com/inclinelist.htm〕〔http://www.phlf.org/spotlightonmainstreet/resources/ss_facts_inclines.pdf〕〔https://oldpittmaps.wordpress.com/2012/05/02/pittsburghs-incline-history/〕〔http://www.brooklineconnection.com/history/Facts/Inclines.html〕 with one daily trip being made for franchise purposes until 1919.〔http://charleroiinterurban.com/era-charleroi-interurban.htm〕〔http://www.liquala.com/pcs.html〕 == See also == * List of funicular railways * List of inclines in Pittsburgh 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Castle Shannon South Incline」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
