Talk:Pittsburgh and Castle Shannon Plane

Dates
Although its use as a passenger incline was after the Monongahela Incline, this incline pre-dates the Monongahela. These references appear to be wrong, and confuse the coal incline with the Castle Shannon Incline:

It was later converted to passenger use by the Pittsburgh Railways Company for use in its interurban service to Charleroi and Washington, Pennsylvania. It was re-built in 1891. Pustelnik (talk) 12:36, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

This might be the poorly-documented Kirk Lewis incline, as he had mines along Saw Mill Run, and could have used the mine through Mt. Washington to transport his coal.
