The Abandoned Cincinnati Inclines (Cincinnati, Ohio)

- Опубліковано 2 гру 2022
- Most Cincinnatians know our hilly city once boasted five inclines to Price Hill, Fairview, Bellevue, Mt. Auburn, and Mt. Adams. Our upstream neighbor in Pittsburgh installed its first inclined railway in 1864. Although that first incline carried nothing but coal for several years, it was soon adapted to passenger service. Pittsburgh had three functional inclines before Cincinnati’s first went into operation, and it still has two functioning inclines. The Monongahela Incline is 150 years old this year. From May 12, 1872, when the Mt. Auburn Incline first went into service, until the last bus debarked from the Mt. Adams Incline on April 16, 1948, more than three-quarters of a century had passed. By the time the inclines ceased running, years of deferred maintenance had rendered them unsafe and in need of expensive renovation. Entranced by the automobile, Cincinnati demurred, to our historic loss.

Ah the price hill incline was an adventure as a boy, some 60 plus years ago. We would climb the walls and the hill . Sometimes it was fun to stop at the top and watch the DJs at WSAI.
You did a nice job on your video. Historic footage was fun to watch . Thank you.
I thought The Highland House was at the Mt Auburn incline! Wow, very interesting video!
Can you do a video on the historic brewery district in OTR by Mohawk street ?
That location has been on my radar for quite some time now. But with the area being a little sketchy and construction going on it has made things difficult. So it is possible I could make a video of that.
The Airbnb is literally right smack next to the Jackson brewery
@@VK-pc4vnYes, I can't believe that airbnbs are in such questionable places.
great video. i love learning about the inclines and this video offered some unique perspective and images i havent seen in other videos. thank you
Great presentation! I was floored to find out that Cincy had 5 of these inclines…too bad just one of them couldn’t have been saved!
They should bring these back
Wish you would talk about how they started, when they were popular, and why they ended. You get close but jump around the timeline too much.
I can't listen to this guy.
