AMERICA'S MOST AMAZING MILE
Experience the thrill of riding one of the world’s steepest passenger railways at the historic Incline Railway in Chattanooga, Tennessee, offering breathtaking views as you ascend Lookout Mountain. The Incline has been in operation since November 1895 and is celebrating its 130th anniversary.
A ride on The Incline takes about 10 minutes each direction. Incline trains leave from each station every 20 minutes. In addition to the ride there is an observation deck atop Lookout Mountain, and food service and gift shops available at both stations. It’s best to plan at least an hour for the whole experience.
Last car leaves 40 minutes before close. Due to our new car design of The Incline railcar, manual and electric wheelchairs are permitted.
The Incline Railway has two stations – one at the top of Lookout Mountain and one at the foot of the mountain in St. Elmo. Click here for address and directions. We allow boarding the cars from either the lower or upper station. Tickets can be purchased at either station or online at ridetheincline.com.
