[PRCo] Re: another incline?

[Bill Robb]

The booklet Pittsburgh Inclines, notes that there was a Mt.Washington incline built circa 1854, the Kirk Lewis Coal incline for which the actual location and dates were unknown. The map in the booklet shows the closest South Side incline to that location was the St. Clair at 22nd Street.

Sparse 
coverage 
but 
there 
was 
an 
incline 
which 
started 
at 
a 
tipple 
between 
28th 
and 
29th 
St 
at 
Jane 
St, 
opposite 
the 
old 
end 
of 
the 
MonConn 
at 
the 
PRR 
Mon 
Division 
(then 
the 
PV&C) 
and 
went 
up 
the 
hill 
parallel 
to 
the 
alignment 
of 
29th 
st 
but 
further 
west, 
ending 
at 
J&L 
property 
at 
Sumner 
St.

No 
clue 
until 
I 
saw 
it 
on 
Sanborns; 
In 
1893 
it 
was 
abandoned; 
later 
the 
RoW 
was 
clear 
but 
empty, 
still 
owned 
by
