The Mount Beacon Inclined Railway in the Hudson Valley of New York fell into ruins in the 1970's, but there's been a core of devotees since working at a revival. http://www.midhudsonnews.com/News/2010/ ... 9Dec10.htm BEACON – The Mount Beacon Incline Railway Restoration Society is going to receive a $42,500 grant to fund a comprehensive market analysis, business plan and museum conceptualization that members hope will lead to rebuilding of the rail line up Mount Beacon in the City of Beacon. Incline Society President Anne Lynch said the Grant from the Dyson Foundation, will allow the group to stay in its timeline to reopen the line on 2013. She called the grant “a turning point in our planning efforts.” The Mount Beacon Inclines' website: http://www.inclinerailway.org/ |
