The Monongahela Incline shut down this morning at around 9am due to some technical problems. By lunchtime, the Port Authority workers had it back in service. It appears that computer problems were to blame. The people who actually use the incline for transportation were lucky since Port Authority had shuttles running up and down Mount Washington until the issues were sorted out.

Good thing no one was riding it when it stopped. There’s a new movie coming out soon called “Frozen“. The plot is about a group of skiers who get stuck on a ski lift overnight. Maybe a group of Pittsburgh filmmakers can make a similar movie about a group of hardcore Steelers fans on their way to a Heinz Field but get stuck on the incline for the whole game.
