Oh my God what a beautiful looking view of Pittsburgh PA....
I was born and raised in Pittsburgh 53-72. So much has changed! Gone is much of the North side residential area, now it's stadium and science center, highways, steel mills were many and operating, now there is one, downtown has a few older builsings, Gulf, Koppers, Alcoa, US Steel train station, but so much new. Civic Arena gone-now it's a parking lot. Love how the Point looks now. I never rode the incline so it's a treat seeing this. It's a beautiful, interesting city, good place to live, lots to do.
In the Pittsburgh Area is United States Steel in Braddock, Irvin Works, and Clairton Coke Plant. There are fewer than years ago, but steel and related industries is still doing well in the area. Only 1 of the 3 plants makes raw steel, but all 3 are involved in the manufacture (Coke Plant) of steel, or steel product processing.
Enjoyed this very much; thank you, JP and family for letting us tag along with you! 🌝
Definitely feels like you are going up on a Rollercoaster 🎢. The views are simply amazing and the sounds of the city. Thank you for taking us along.
Wow, Pittsburgh is a beautiful city!
The building lit up "red" in the background is the sun reflected off the windows. Pretty Cool
Beautiful scenery from up there, especially as it's getting dark!!! Thank you for the info!!! Amazing photo montage, so gorgeous!!! Thank you so much for sharing Jay!!! If I don't get to see any of Pennsylvania in person, I know I can see some of it through your eyes and camera lens 📸!!!
Always take care and be safe!!! God bless you Jay, Jill and Lili!!!
That's the reason I do it. To bring new places to those who may never see it in person.
@@JPVideos81 and I sure do appreciate you doing that 💙💙💙
Your trip has made me want to visit. I have never even considered visiting there until your videos. It looks like a lot of history is preserved and that I really love. God bless
I recommend it. I'm going back for another trip.
Back in the day you got a weekend pass for 1.50. you could go anywhere sat till Sunday, as much as you wanted.for 2 peeps.
One of our favorites in Pittsburgh 😊
Beautiful place
Whoa! That was great. The views from the top were stunning. Your zoom on the video camera is unbelievable. Despite feeling queasy looking down the incline I loved it! 👍🏻
Loved the Incline and watching the train. We used to have one in Cincinnati. Its gone. Beautiful view.
JP, thanks for the excellent videos on your trip here, on your stay here, and more. Born and raised here, my wife and I were very pleased with your efforts and outcome. Glad to see you and your family here, great work all.
Thanks
Really loved this video! Brought back so many memories, cause I used to walk over that bridge, that’s by the incline, to go to work everyday. Thanks for sharing! Hope you had a good time in my hometown!

Such a cool attraction in a very cool city. Lots of train action to enjoy along with the awesome views of the area. It was neat to see where the other places you went like the sub are in relation to the incline. Thanks for the tour!

Thanks for videoing my hometown
Thanks again for the excursion!
My husband grew up in McKee Rocks (a suburb of Pittsburgh) and he took me to Pittsburgh for our 20th anniversary. We rode the Duquesne Incline, toured the submarine, Carnegie Science Center, looked at neighbor hoods he grew up in, and at a local pizza shop that was still in business after all these years. Later we weback met up with a friend of his and his friend arranged for us to get a tour of Heinz Stadium.
Awesome
Great shots, cool sites and that ride up was fun!!! Thanks for taking us up!!! 💖💙💖💙💖
Thanks for checking it out with us.
That was fun! 🎉 The science center in Pittsburgh--next to Steelers stadium. The science center in Cleveland--next to Browns stadium. 🤓
Wow great View awesome video so cool catching the trains thumbs up man
Awesome j, thanks for another great vid.
Great tour, Great info, great views and great train catches. I have not road that one, but the other one, the Duquesne incline, it has a great view of point state park. As always thanks for the great post, glad you and your family had a great vacation.
Thanks for checking it out
Thank you for the video 👍
Very cool! I rode on a couple of incline rails when I was a kid out in Seven Falls and the one at Royal Gorge in Colorado long time ago.
They are very unique, but serve a great purpose.
Totally awesome
That would be one heck of a ride if the breaks gave out 😊
Great video. I always enjoy going along with you, thanks for a great trip and the info.
It's my pleasure
Very cool video. That ride up looks like fun. The views are phenomenal.
Great video. Yoh have some awesome pictures of the scenery in around it. And the views from the rail and top were great 👍
Awesome ride up the incline Sooo steep! Great zoom-ins with the Panasonic incredible! Beautiful shots in montage really enjoyed them. Thank you JP and Family for letting us tag along... Great trip!! 🔥🔥🔥

Foniculi fonicular what an amazing view and Lili s video was cool too

That was a very interesting video Jason. I love the incline train and beautiful views. Great video and great photos. Thank you!
Thank you Marjan
really cool i had never heard of this type of car
Very interesting info...lot of history there. Love the spectacular views ...( great zoom action) . Once again I've learned something .....that's always a good thing : } Thanks for expanding my world !
I'm always learning myself, so I guess its a good thing. Thanks for taking the ride with us.
In 1974, I took my girlfriend to see Pink Floyd on their Dark Side of the Moon tour, at the Three River Stadium. They did three sets. The first they did earlier songs, Then they did the whole Dark Side of the Moon as it was on the album with a movie on a screen over the stage. Then they did some new songs that weren't released yet.
beauteous
WHAT A BIG CITY..I DON'T THINK I'D GET ON THE LIFT RIDE♥️
I bet you would if you went with some friends
YOU MAY BE RIGHT 😊 YOU'D HAVE TO BE WITH ME 😉🤭♥️
Putting the "fun" in "funicular " 😂. This is a great time! Did this last fall. The views of Pittsburgh were amazing! 😊
🤣
I watched Lili 's video before yours! Both good were good, 😊 Thanks!
Awesome! Thanks
@@JPVideos81 your welcome😁
That is very interesting, so how do they prevent the rail car, from sliding down the incline. Or jumping off the track, nice to see a closer look at it. I agree, very frightening, if it came crashing down.
Beautiful view of the city
Each tram is the counterbalance to the opposing tram. There is a cable that the two are attached to. The cable goes through a system of wheels, brakes and motors to assist the raising/lowering of the trams.
So Amazing!! Just incredible!! Thank you so much for this spectacular ride. Oh snap is right! I know you have done more heights was it comfortable for you? I do not do well with heights. And we caught a train, remarkable. Epic montage! ❤🥰
This wasn't bad. I wasnt able to see through the floor so that helps.
Hello jp my great grandfather and two of my grandfathers worked in a coal mine my great grandfather passed away from black lung cancer and my two grandfathers passed away of other things
For a recent update on the 481 submarine for those who didn't get to see the video like me; would you mind JP do another video on this Submarine?
Sorry missed you I would of have been glad to meet you and shake your hand
It's cool that they maintain that peice of history. It's a great way to see the city. I would really like to know what that building is all lit up like that. It looks like a gateway to Hell.
It's called PPG place. It was built be the Pennsylvania Plate Glass Co. in the 1980's. I think they have sold it since then though.
@@roelf8653 👍
From a local yunzer....it"s pronounced Mo-non-gah-HAY-luh and
Mahnt Worshington...n'at.
What camera so you use with that long lens? Looking for a new one
Panasonic vx980
My guess is the building lit up might be a hospital. UPMC McKeesport...rough area.
Not UPMC McKeesport. If you could see it it would be much farther to the south (i.e. to the right in his pictures)
Didn’t find the Duquesne incline video
Hey man! Are you still in Pittsburgh by any chance?
Are the souvenirs you can purchase?
What kind of camera did you use for the views?
Wide angle is my Dji Osmo Action. For the zoomed in shots I used Panasonic vx981
Mc Ardle road
i wanna know who told you to go on this incline cause the Duquesne incline is so much better :)
Ummm, websites... lol
I'll be back soon to ride the Duquesne Incline and to explore more of the city.
@@JPVideos81 can't wait to see it!! loved seeing the remains of the old incline. I've lived in pittsburgh my whole life and never knew their use to me so many inclines!
@@theresacarmody8363 any other places in downtown I should check out? I'll be back very soon.
@@JPVideos81 Allegheny Commons Park is quite beautiful if you get a chance. Trains run through it in what many call “the trench”.
Are those the original cars that ride the rails?
Good question. Unfortunately I dont have the answer to that.
Did you ever find out what the red lights were from
A few people mentioned a children's hospital
does it operate 24 hr a day
No, it does not.
Who checks your ticket? X
Its an automatic system and the operator has cameras watching the lower station to check.
The operator in the upper station.
Not the Duquesne incline ?
Duquesne is older, more quaint , creaks more. It’s a wooden car incline
I did the Duquesne in a different video. The website says it was built 1877, this one is 1870.
Omg look at how steep that incline is. Are you taking us up that steep grade? I hope not.
Oh, it's said kar-NAY-gee, not CAR-nuh-ger
sorry i couldnt view the submarine video, its too scary and i cant look at anything extremely huge
I dont see Lily's link.
