Night time Ride and Machine View on the Duquesne Incline in Pittsburgh, PA

(8-4-20) This is one of two inclines running in Pittsburgh. This one has Westinghouse equipment, and is still for the most part manually controlled! This incline opened in 1877 and was restored in 1963. The machine room is open to the public, so you can go see how this amazing piece of machinery works! Enjoy a nighttime ride on the incline and a look at the machine!

My family vacationed in Pittsburgh last week, and we rode this Thursday. It was very unique, definitely worth doing while you're in Pittsburgh.

[@stlelevators]

Did you ride the other one too?

[@BewareofDarkness44]

@@stlelevators We didn't, just rode this one. If we go back, we'll definitely hit up the other one.

[@elevliamyt]

I've been to Pittsburgh many times but I still have yet to ride the incline.

[@stlelevators]

You should!

[@MilwaukeeCountyElevators]

Holy Crap! That is so Amazing! They look like old Trolleys but they're inclined, very beautiful.

[@stlelevators]

Yeah these inclines are so cool.

[@Skivator]

Wow! That’s very awesome and unique! Amazing these are in awesome shape and run very well!

[@stlelevators]

There used to be way more of them in this area, but sadly only two remain. The two that still run are awesome though.

[@Jamestube8439]

Definitely rather unique!

[@stlelevators]

For sure! I love these inclines.

Really good view of Point State! Well, really the whole city.

[@stlelevators]

Both of the inclines have a nice view.

[@ECFE]

Bet. My dad grew up in Pittsburgh, in the Gibsonia/Monroeville area to be exact. He has fond memories of these things back in the 80's and 90's.

[@NWIndianaElevators]

Went here back in Spring Break 2011... Pretty cool place!

[@stlelevators]

STL Elevators Yes, I did twice! Once in Spring Break 2011 and once in 2018 with Jared...
