Railway Incline to Lookout Mountain

Sunday morning we got up and road the incline railway up to Lookout Mountain. It is supposedly the steepest incline railway in the world...that's what they claim. It is really steep though. It has two cars...one at each end. They run on cables working as pulleys pulling each other up and down the mountain. I kept reminding Allison that if one car is just the tinniest bit faster than the other we would crash...and that if the cable were to break, we would have a long way down.. She did not appreciate these comments.




 We walked down to Point Park where a historic battleground is. We didn't go in the park but we did see some cannons.
