Mount Adams Incline



The Mount Adams Incline was a funicular, or inclined railway, located in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Mount Adams. Completed in 1872, it was the longest-running of the city's five inclines, closing in 1948. It has since been demolished.

The incline was 945 ft long and carried streetcars and automobiles. It began carrying horsecars in 1877, and it was later strengthened for use by electric streetcars, which were much heavier.
