Incline Railway
An Incline Railway is a type of transportation system that moves passengers or goods up and down steep slopes using a cable-driven mechanism. It typically consists of two cars that are connected by a cable, allowing one car to ascend while the other descends. This design helps to balance the weight and maintain stability on steep inclines.
Incline railways are often found in hilly or mountainous regions, providing access to elevated areas that may be difficult to reach by conventional means. They are commonly used in tourist attractions, such as the Pittsburgh Incline in Pennsylvania, and can also serve practical purposes in urban settings.
