Chattanooga, Tennessee’s
Lookout Mountain Incline Railway is a ride unlike any
other in the world. Referred to as “America’s Most
Amazing Mile”, the Incline Railway has delighted
guests to the Chattanooga area for well over a
century. Designated as both a National Historic Site and
National Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark, the
Incline Railway has been one of Chattanooga's
most unique attractions since 1895.
As the
Incline Railway climbs historic Lookout
Mountain, Chattanooga’s surrounding mountains and
valleys come alive. The trolley-style railcars carry you
cloud high and the breathtaking 72.7% grade of the track
near the top gives the Incline Railway the unique
distinction of being the steepest passenger railway in the
world.
Sit back,
relax and enjoy as you are taken up and down the side of
Lookout Mountain, gaze at the scenic view from the
observation windows on the Incline Train and enjoy
the panoramic view from the observation tower at the
Incline Railway’s top station. You will marvel at
the view from the highest overlook on Lookout Mountain.
On
a clear day you can see the Great Smoky Mountains which are
over 100 miles away!!!
In
addition to the ride on the Incline, be sure to visit the
many points of Civil War interest at the top of Lookout
Mountain, browse though the unique selection of gifts
available at both the top and the bottom station and grab a
snack at the Incline Railway diner counter. |
