Built after the Johnstown flood of 1889, the Inclined Plane's original purpose was to act as a lifesaver in case of another flood. In its heyday, the Incline carried approximately 1,000,000 passengers a year to and from the downtown area. Today the Incline welcomes visitors and locals alike, carrying approximately 100,000 passengers a year.

The Johnstown Inclined Plane is the steepest vehicular incline in the world, meaning its 30' cars, which are large enough to hold 65 people, 6 motorcycles, or a vehicle, travel at the steepest grade for cars their size.

Please consider visiting the historical Johnstown area and making a stop at its world-famous Inclined Plane. It's sure to impress.
