The Monongahela incline (Mon incline for short) is really cool in that its something you don't get to experience anywhere else. FYI- sit in the first car closest to the bottom of Mt. Washington if you want to see the cityscape on the way up and down. It's no big deal if you can't get a seat in the first car, you'll just have to wait til you get to the top to see the skyline. It's a pretty short trip to the top so don't expect a long ride to take pictures. You can take pics at one of the several viewing terraces along the top. Do remember to take exact change with you or you will have to go back to station square to get change. It does have a change machine to break 1's, 5's and 10 dollar bills but don't expect to get change for a $20 from someone there, because chances are they've already given out all there change to someone else whom didn't have change. The view of the golden triangle at the top is breathtaking and I can understand why it was rated #2 most beautiful. The ice cream parlor at the top is worth stopping in for a treat. Take the time to read and look at the historical artifacts they have on display in the station on top, it's really interesting. The incline is open pretty late so you can see Pitts at night when it's all lit up. It's a must if your ever in Pittsburgh.
