What's up? The Mt. Beacon Incline Railway once climbed 1,500 feet sharply up historic Mt. Beacon, and thrilled its passengers to spectacular views of the Hudson River Valley in the Hudson Highlands (where many of the great Hudson River artists were inspired). Located in Beacon New York, 60 miles north of New York City, it delighted thousands of people for over seventy five years until it was tragically destroyed by fire in 1983. Our Organization... Entering into our fifth year of operation, the Incline Society is comprised of volunteers working to restore the railway. We are registered with the New York State Department of Education as a not-for-profit Historical Society and hold a Provisional Charter issued by the New York State Board of Regents. The Society is also an approved IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. |

Our Mission... It has been almost 20 years since the last trolley climbed Mt. Beacon. A generation has grown up without experiencing the thrill of making that steep ascent, and without viewing the spectacular panorama of the Hudson River Valley. |

Now, with the acquisition of the mountain by Scenic Hudson Land Trust and the formation of the Incline Society, there is renewed excitement to restore this once great landmark for public use.
