After being closed since last August, Pittsburgh's original incline is BACK, baby! And now it has a glass floor in the upper station...as well as some railings and stuff.

Station Square is basically your new Pittsburgh Stomping ground

We are absolutely delighted to see this inclined railroad back in use again, thank you for bringing us this very interesting and informative report on it. It was great to see a fellow subscriber enjoying it also!

It has always crawled into the station. The lower station is the same along with the signs in the upper station. The floor and the holes are new.

when i was in pittsburgh in february we tried to ride the incline but we werent able to because of a bad car battery. we never even got to find out it was closed! also to each his own but i find it pretty amusing that the nice subscriber you met said that pittsburgh was the most beautiful city hes seen. it isnt even the most beautiful in pennsylvania if you ask me!

Love this! Thanks for the update! Also, it seems that you're getting more relaxed in your speaking/delivery -- better and better with each video! Some of the older videos felt more scripted, but now it seems like you're just trusting your expertise and experience. It's awesome!

Thanks for the update on the incline. Every time I have visited Pittsburgh I try to include a ride on both inclines. The view from on top of Mt Washington of downtown is always worth the price to take the ride. I am sure the regular commuters also are happy to see it return rather than having to take the shuttle bus.

Excellent video! My stepson and I just rode the Monongahela last week (His first time on any incline). Totally glad we went!

Awesome video man! Station square is a really great location. Just ride the incline up and you'll get the best view of Pittsburgh's Skyline. Get off the light rail @ station square and there is a cool river front trail along with markets and cool RR history

I remember the end-point crawl, or at least speed ramping up/down, from 2019.

Nothing save a conveniently late Capitol Limited will keep me from riding this in less than two months.

Well if you come during the weekend the next few weeks (early 4/23) it'll be your lucky day cause the light rail stop right next to the station, which usually is never open, is being used temporarily because of tunnel maintenance. So that will take you right to the incline.
