"
View
of the
Ohio
River
and the
City
of
Cincinnati
,
facing
southeast
, from the
top
of the
Mount
Adams
Incline
.
Mount
Adams
Incline
,
extending
from
Lock
St
. to
Rookwood
Pl
. and
Celestial
St.
, was the
more
important
of the
two
local
inclines
. The
inclines
comprised
two
stilted
,
cable-drawn
platforms
that
raised
wagons
and
pedestrians
, and
later
the
Zoo-Eden
Streetcars
and
automobiles
268
feet
from
Lock
Street
to the
hilltop
on an
inclined
track
945
feet
long
. The
understructure
,
over
house
tops
and
streets
,
is
made
of
stout
lumber
and had a
track
gauge
of
4
feet
8.5
inches
. The
funicular
railway
,
completed
in
1875
, was
closed
in
1948
, and
I-471
now
runs
through
the
location
at the
base
of the
hill
.
Near
the
center
of the
photograph
, a
water
tower
with the
word
"
Seeds
"
can
be
seen
,
next
to
which
can
be
seen
on the
building
, the
words
"
Acme
Seeds
".
Another
picture
shows
a
sign
near
this
building
for The
J
.
Chas
.
McCullough
Seed
Company
but
it
is
unclear
if these
two
are
related
.
More
information
needed
. The
Ohio
River
is
the
largest
tributary
of the
Mississippi
River
and
is
about
981
miles
long
.
It
begins
at the
confluence
of the
Allegheny
and
Monongahela
rivers
in
Point
State
Park
in
Pittsburgh
,
Pennsylvania
.
It
forms
the
border
between
Ohio
and
West
Virginia
, as
well
as
Ohio
and
Kentucky
,
Indiana
and
Kentucky
and
Illinois
and
Kentucky
.
It
joins
the
Mississippi
near
Cairo
,
Illinois
. The
bridge
on the
left
,
is
the
L&N
Bridge
or
Louisville
&
Nashville
RR
Bridge
,
opened
in
1872
as the
Newport
&
Cincinnati
Bridge
and was the
first
railroad
bridge
to
cross
the
Ohio
River
in
Cincinnati
. The
bridge
was
modified
in
1897
to
include
street
car
and
horse
and
cart
traffic
. In
1904
, the
cart
path
was
paved
for
automobiles
and the
bridge
renamed
as the
L&N
Bridge
after
its
new
owners
. By the
late
1940's
street
car
service
was
removed
and in
1987
railroad
traffic
ceased
. By the
1990's
the
bridge
was
lightly
used
by
automobile
traffic
, and was
officially
renamed
the
CSX
Bridge
after
new
owners
. On
April
17
,
2001
it
was
placed
on the
National
Register
of
Historic
Places
,
closed
to
automobiles
in
2002
, and
reopened
in
2003
after
a
$4
million
renovation
as a
pedestrian
only
bridge
. The
bridge
on the
right
,
called
the
Central
Bridge
or
Cincinnati
&
Newport
Bridge
, was
finished
in
1890
and was the
first
"
standard
"
cantilever
truss
bridge
to be
built
.
Located
next
to the
L&N
Bridge
seen
in the
background
, the
Central
Bridge
had a
similar
type
and
length
of
approach
spans
to that of the
L&N
bridge
, with the
piers
built
from
identical
stone
.
Demolished
in
1992
, the
bridge
was
replaced
by the
Taylor-Southgate
Bridge
in
1995
.
