Description
With the snow on and around it I can’t believe it’s still going, but like it always does, somehow it still is. Up and down the icy cold rails in on the snow covered track. It tirelessly runs, filling up with people and carrying them up for the ride or driving them down to the bottom. As it slowly creeps up the mountain first time riders always question it making it up to the top.
Looking out of the window there’s an incredible sight to see. During the day time it’s beautiful seeing the point, all of the stadiums, all of Pittsburgh’s tall high rises with their windows gleaming in the sunshine and the river shimmering. Although it costs $2.50 to get up to this site the small fee is well worth it if you’ve never seen this site before. At night it’s a whole new seen. Bright lights light up the city in brilliance. As you’re riding up you get to see a new perspective of the city almost every 15 seconds. It’s a romantic ride up with your with your significant other too.
The inside isn’t the fanciest furnishing though. Once you walk inside you’ll see two wooden benches sitting across from each other varnished in an oak finish, a dirty floor and big windows filling the sides and front. This thing has been part of Pittsburgh’s history for many decades, and I can’t even imagine how many people have filed in and out of them through the years.
