The Monongahela Incline reopened Tuesday afternoon after Pittsburgh Regional Transit completed repairs to a damaged car.

The incline had been closed since last Wednesday after the door of a car on the downriver track of the incline fell out of place.

The incline, which opened in 1870, carries about 600,000 passengers a year between Mount Washington and Station Square on Pittsburgh’s South Side. The agency ran shuttle buses between the stations when drivers were available.
