Inclines and Staircases
Two inclines ascend Mount Washington: Duquesne Incline and Monongahela Incline. Pittsburgh once had considerably more inclines and the Monongahela Incline was once paralleled by a freight incline.
Pittsburgh has more public staircases (737) than any other city in the United States, followed by Cincinnati and San Francisco. Many of these staircases have street names, and lead to hillside neighborhoods that can be difficult to access by car in winter.
