Description
Inaugurated in 1913, the Manor Hill Incline Railroad ran until 1929. It was built to promote the sale of lots of the new subdivision on the hill: "Fairfax Manor." It ran from Sequoia Road in the foreground up to upper Scenic Road, a distance of 1500 feet with a rise of 500 feet in elevation. The fare was 5 cents per trip and took 3 to 5 minutes. There were possible stops along the way. The Fairfax Realty Company office is the building on the right.
