World's steepest funicular (or inclined plane) with a 70.9% grade. Built after the Johnstown flood of 1889. According to http://thetransitpass.wordpress.com/2009/08/19/putting-the-fun-back-in-funicular, funiculars are "fantastic train-like cars that travel up and down steep inclines via cables or the tug-and-pull of equally weighted cabs. Independently-powered trains, whether electric, steam or diesel cannot climb steep grades. While funiculars may run on railroad tracks, they do not have on-board engines like trains."
