点评:We stopped at the Incline Railway early in the day on a Saturday in October. When we arrived it was not crowded, however, by the time we left there were many more people. I would recommend you plan on an early incline ride for lesser crowds.
We boarded the incline at the St. Elmo station where there is plenty of parking. Entering the incline car was a bit unusual and felt a bit like walking in a fun house. Due to the steep grade of the tracks the cars rest at an angle. After riding the incline to the top of Lookout Mountain this makes sense. At the top the flooring is level and you can feel the climb as you exit the car. At the top station you have the opportunity to take in the view and see the workings of the incline. The mechanics room has a large viewing window where you can watch the machinery.
It was an interesting ride and worth the time to explore
翻译:十月的一个星期六,我们一大早就去了缆车。我们到的时候人不多,但离开的时候人就多了起来。我建议大家早点去,避开人潮。
我们在圣埃尔莫站上了缆车,那里停车位充足。进入缆车的感觉有点特别,有点像走进了鬼屋。由于轨道坡度很陡,车厢是倾斜的。坐到瞭望山顶之后,就明白为什么了。山顶的地面是平的,下车的时候还能感觉到爬坡的坡度。在山顶站,你可以欣赏风景,还能看到缆车的运作。机械室里有一个很大的观景窗,你可以透过它看到机器的运转。
这是一次有趣的旅程,值得花时间去体验。
