Duquesne Incline 06/20/09

One of the things I wanted to do was take Tye to see the "Incline". You will see in the pictures, but basically it is these little trolley trains that go up the side of the mountain. The trains sit straight and look like they are going on their corner! Pretty cool (you will see what I mean later in the post).

Here is the Duquesne Incline Station.
The walkway across the street to the incline.

Walking up the stairs to the incline....yes the excitement is building don't you think?! lol

Riding the incline. Tye wasn't quite sure what to think right when we took off.

Looking at downtown Pittsburgh.

Looking at Heinz Field from the incline.

At the top in the station you can look through this window and see the gears turning to bring the incline car up or send it back down. The kids thought that was pretty cool!

Tye and Kevin looking down watching the action taking place.

Here they are. See how it looks like they are tipped on the end?! Pretty cool!

Tye was loving it!!!

Making a smashed penny. (An electric one this time! lol)

Inspecting the results

Outside the top station.

Enjoying the ride back down.

A cool little ride. Tye thought it was just great!
