THE INCLINE RAILWAY:
“America’s Most Amazing Mile”

The Incline Railway, located at the foot of Lookout Mountain, recently made track upgrades and gift shop renovations. In tiptop shape for 2007, visitors can enter through the newly renovated upper station, reminiscent of an original train depot. History will be
on display dating back to the 1880’s, with evocative wall graphics and features like a brand new clock tower.


“As our Incline attendance grows, we are constantly striving to provide the safest, most enjoyable view Chattanooga has to offer,” said Tom Dugan, president of CARTA.


The Incline Railway, operated by CARTA, has the distinction of being the steepest passenger railway in the world. In operation since 1895, the Incline is a National Historic site and Mechanical Engineering Landmark. Breathtaking views of the Chattanooga Valley can be seen from the observation deck at the Lookout Mountain Station, the
highest overlook on the mountain. The trolley-like cars offer round trip rides three times every hour from either the top or bottom stations.


The Incline Railway is a part of Lookout Mountain Attractions, along with Rock City and Ruby Falls. A combo ticket can be purchased at any of these attractions to visit all three - the Incline, Rock City and Ruby Falls. Each has its own unique features, and combined they offer a half-day’s adventure on historic Lookout Mountain.
