How to Get There
Take Carson Street westbound, turn right onto the Duquesne Incline access road near the Fort Pitt Bridge.
Overview
The Duquesne Incline has carried passengers up Mount Washington since 1877, when it moved workers from the riverfront to their homes above. Restored wooden cable cars climb a steep 400-foot slope using original machinery, giving views of the skyline, rivers, and bridges, and at the top are a small museum and observation deck. The nonprofit Society for the Preservation of the Duquesne Heights Incline runs it, and it is one of the few inclines left in the U.S.
