New York - Mt. Beacon Incline Railway Restoration Society

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.

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
