| 説明 | Perhaps the most unusual short railroad system in Wisconsin is this inclined cable railway at the Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.This short railway used a single cab to haul passengers up and down a steep slope in a formal Italian Renaissance-style garden overlooking Lake Michigan. The horizontal distance covered is about 160 feet, and the vertical elevation change is about 55 feet, so the slope is about 3H:1V or 20 degrees. As of 2023, it appears the system has not been used in at least several years, and vegetation is starting to overgrow the rails. You can walk alongside the incline on a stairway.A plaque on the cab identifies the equipment supplier as "Incline Car Systems, Inc." This type of system is also called an inclined elevator. It is sometimes referred to as a funicular, although technically a funicular is a different type of inclined railway that uses two counterbalanced cars that move in synch.This historic house and grounds is now a public museum, located on the east side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The house was designed by architect David Adler in the Italian Renaissance style and was built in 1924 for Lloyd Smith. Smith was the president of the A.O. Smith Corporation, one of Milwaukee's largest manufacturers. In 1966, the Smith family donated the estate to Milwaukee County to serve as a museum. The villa and estate were listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1974. It is listed as the "Lloyd R. Smith House" with reference ID 74000107. Photo taken early September 2023.
