}}
The Fenelon Place Elevator is a narrow gauge〔(Zeitschrift Blickpunkt Straßenbahn (Tram Focus Magazine) - Trams of the World 2013 )〕 funicular railway located in Dubuque, Iowa. Also known as the Fourth Street Elevator, it is claimed to be the shortest and steepest railroad in the world (although several other funiculars also make this claim). It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.〔Stewart, Connie (2011-11-05). Old funicular is quaint, fun, and TSA-secure. LA Times, 5 November 2011.

==History==
A predecessor to the Fourth Street Elevator was built in 1882 for the private use of local banker and former state senator J.K. Graves. The funicular was opened to the public in 1884, charging 5 cents per ride. After several fires, the current funicular was built in 1893 on the footprint of the 1882 incline; the 1893 funicular inaugurated the use of the cable car technology that continues in use today.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fenelon Place Elevator Company History )〕
