=====''Beacon Incline Railway''=====
From 1902 to 1978, the [[Mount Beacon Incline Railway]] was one of the steepest incline railways in existence (a 74% grade). It took an estimated 3.5 million people up to the {{convert|1540|ft|m|adj=on}} summit of [[Mount Beacon]]. Fire and vandalism destroyed the incline railway. From 1996 until 2022, the Mount Beacon Incline Railway Restoration Society worked to reopen the attraction, but ultimately could not raise enough funds for the project.<ref>{{cite web |title=End of the Line |url=https://highlandscurrent.org/2022/04/29/end-of-the-line/ |website=The Highlands Current |date=April 29, 2022 |access-date=15 April 2023 |archive-date=April 15, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230415162145/https://highlandscurrent.org/2022/04/29/end-of-the-line/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
