Pittsburgh Pennsylvania is surrounded by high bluffs. The workers lived on the bluffs, but the industry was down in the city. A need existed to move the workers to the industry and this was met by making a railroad that actually goes up and down a rather steep incline, naturally enough called an 'Incline Railroad'
This railroad still exists and is a National Historic Landmark and is setup for sight seeing. We checked it out.
