Norwood Incline

Norwood Incline

The Norwood Incline was a funicular railway located in McKees Rocks near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. It operated from 1901 to 1923. It was often referred to as "The Penny Incline" because in later years of service it would charge passengers one cent to get from Island Avenue to Norwood Place.[1]
