Los Angesles has a similar trolly car system as well. A YouTube buddy of mine had them in one of his videos, but up and downward trips.

Otis indicators. Would not surprise me if these were Otis Trams.

@georgef551 you think otis makes these? I thought its more of a trolley than elevator, it also had an elevator chime when it arrived at the top when we were waiting, it sounded like CE electronics or otis or something, next time I will have to try to record it. This is the oldest surviving incline left, and there is a slightly newer incline here from 1877, the Duquesne incline pronounced "duke-cane" which is on the North shore side, I will try it next time thyssenelevator95 filmed it

@patricknedz

I'm not saying they're DEFINATELY Otis, but Otis also had his hands in trains, and brake systems, before his elevator buisness started, and continued to do so after.

@georgef551 If these were Otis and I maintained them, I would disable the brakes.. They do have safety buffers after all :)

@cannycart

The stop would still not be pleasant. :)
