Built by John Crass and the Lookout Mountain Incline Railway Company, The Incline is a technical marvel that at its extreme reaches an incline of 72.7%, making it the steepest passenger railway in the world. The original coal-burning steam engines were replaced by two 100-horsepower motors in 1911, but other than that the railway has not changed very much in its more than 100 years of operation.

Alex took pictures of his grandparents (the two RV Gypsies) while waiting for the ride down Lookout Mountain. It was a warm day so Karen Duquette had her fan around her neck, as usual.
