Granite Railway

The incline section of the Granite Railway. You can't tell from the picture, but it is in the middle of a residential neighborhood.

It is interesting that the site hasn't really changed in years. Here is a picture from the Historic American Buildings Survey, Arthur C. Haskell, Photographer. April, 1934 (public domain picture):

(If you want more information on the history of this site, there is a lot on the wikipedia page -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granite_Railway)
