The Incline Railway, closed during the months of January and February, will reopen on March 12. During the closure, the cable will be replaced.
According to Jim Millwood, manager of the Incline Railway, the cable is replaced every three to four years to insure maximum safety of the passenger railway.
The Incline Railway, operated by CARTA, has the distinction of being the steepest and safest passenger railway in the world. In operation since 1895, the Incline is a National Historic site and Mechanical Engineering Landmark.
The Incline Railway is a part of Lookout Mountain Attractions, along with Rock City and Ruby Falls. A combo ticket can be purchased at any of these attractions to visit all three -
the Incline, Rock City and Ruby Falls. Each has its own unique features, and combined they offer a half-day’s adventure on historic Lookout Mountain. Visit www.lookoutmountain.com for more information.
