Madison Incline

This railroad was the steepest non-cog railroad in North America (5.89%). Located in Madison, Indiana, the railroad was known as the Madison, Indianapolis & Lafayette Railroad.

It was built well before the Civil War—construction began in 1836 and the line was operational in 1841. Please go to this source for more information on this intriguing spot.

Later this line would be part of the Panhandle, then Pennsy, and later Penn Central. The Madison Railroad operated it for a period beginning in 1978, and is still a working road between North Madison and North Vernon, but have not used the incline since 1992.

I think public art is so important, and I just love murals. Where I live doesn’t have a lot of those things, but out of what we do this mosaic is by far my fave

Molly and I walked around and sat on a bench and read a book for awhile on the river today.
