The great Cable Incline (seen here) went from Rubio Pavilion (the bottom) to Echo Mountain (at the top), a trip of nearly 3,000 feet, rising over 1,300 feet. In this picture one of the black cable cars, named "Rubio" sets at the bottom with some passengers aboard and others waiting nearby. Also on the left is the electric car which brought customers to the station from Mountain Junction.
