This is a funicular:
Hell the steps just to get to Pittsburghs funicular are more than the entire hill that wussy LA funicular covers.
I TRIED to take the Duquesne Incline when I first got to the ‘Burgh. I paid, got in, looked up, then told the ticket guy the next person gets a free trip.
It looked like it was 90 degree from inside and I have a terrible fear of heights.
