The Johnstown inclined plane is an 896.5 foot funicular
in Johnstown, Cambria County, Pennsylvania.
The incline and its two stations connect the city of
Johnstown, situated in a valley at the confluence of the Stonycreek and the
Little Conemaugh Rivers, to the borough of Westmont on Yoder Hill.
The Johnstown Inclined Plane is billed as the “world’s steepest vehicular
inclined plane”, as it is capable of carrying automobiles, in addition
to passengers, up or down a slope with a grade of 70.9 percent. The travel
time from one station to the other is 90 seconds.
