Our July 1, 2017 ride on the Duquesne Incline. Fun activity to do in Pittsburgh, PA if you have some free time. Information: The Duquesne Incline is an inclined plane railroad located near Pittsburgh's South Side neighborhood and scaling Mt. Washington. Designed by Samuel Diescher, the incline was completed in 1877 and is 800 feet (244 m) long, 400 feet (122 m) in height, and is inclined at a 30-degree angle. - The incline is featured in the opening scene of The Next Three Days trailer starring Russell Crowe. The same scene is featured about halfway through the film. - It is also featured in the 1983 film Flashdance starring Jennifer Beals . - In the 1987 movie, "Lady Beware", the characters played by Diane Lane and Cotter Smith ride the incline. - The Duquesne Incline is a featured Pittsburgh landmark on Yinztagram. Voted the 2nd most beautiful view by some magazine no one reads (it's 2017)...but still, someone thought it was a pretty good view.
