The Mount Adams Incline was a funicular, or inclined railway, located in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Mount Adams. Completed in 1872, it was the longest-running of the city's five inclines, closing in 1948.[1] It has since been demolished.[2]
The incline was 945 feet (288 m) long and carried streetcars and automobiles.[3]
