The Duquesne Incline is one of the funicular railways that still carry passengers up the steep face of Mount Washington, and its red cars are the detail that sets this view apart from other Pittsburgh skyline pictures. The incline opened in 1877 to haul workers and residents between the river flats and the hilltop neighborhoods, when the city's steel and glass mills kept the valley crowded and the bluffs were the easiest way to escape it. From the top, the cars' bright color stands out against the rivers and the downtown towers, a reminder of how the hillside transport shaped where people lived and how they reached work.
