Why do you label this all as Otis Incline Railway, particularly when it's not a true incline and you referenced the proper name in the article - Otis Elevating Railway? Just sayin', but thanks for the exploration and the post with the pics.

There are some pictures of the big concrete trestle, but they don't do it justice. When the leaves are off it is really impressive. And very scary since it is so steep. Years ago I crawled up it, but when it came time to go back down, I chickened out and bypassed it even though that meant clambering down some rock cliffs.
