TOPIC: Went to Johnstown today

We went to Johnstown today with the oldest boy and his family. The weather sucked but we had fun. We rode the incline, By the way it is the steepest in the world. You stand on top of that hill and just think of all the pain and suffering happened down there in the Johnstown Flood.

whats the incline?

This one is actually the steepest one that can carry a car. It is like a streetcar built to go up a steep hill but with a level floor. Johnstown has steep hills all around it. One car goes up and one comes down at the same time in unison. It's not far from John Gibson's house, maybe 40 minutes.

wow... that thing is wild. hard to believe that something like that still exists in modern times. thanks for the pics. ron
