The Monongahela Freight Incline was a funicular railway that scaled Mount Washington in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. Designed by Samuel Diescher and John Endres, the incline was built beside the smaller, original Monongahela Incline. It opened in 1884. The incline cost $125, 000 to build. It had a unique broad gauge that would allow vehicles, as well as passengers to ascend and descend the hill. The cars were hoisted by a pair of Robinson & Rea engines.〔A Century of Inclines, pp. 7-8.〕 The incline ran until 1935. The older passenger incline still runs today, and concrete pylons from the freight incline can be seen during the descent. == See also ==
