Click on photos to enlarge image











This is pretty far from Northeastern Pennsylvania but I did mention that I would include things and places outside of Northeastern Pa.
This is the worlds steepest Inclined Plane with a grade of 70.9%.
It transports cars and passengers to an elevation of 1693 feet.
It is located in Johnstown, Pa. which is in Western Pennsylvania. If you plan on visiting this area of Pennsylvania it is worth stopping to see because of the amazing view seen in these photos There is a observation platform, a visitors center, gift shop, and the City View Bar & Grill.
