Description	Cable cars pass each other on the slopes of Mt. Washington's Incline Railway. The railway operated over a distance of 2,900 feet, pulled by a cable under wood planking and was created to increase land sales for the Mt. Washington Development Company. The two cable cars, named Florence and Virginia (shown here), operated simultaneously, one leaving at the foot of the hill and the other heading down the mountain from the inn. In January, 1919, the Board of Public Utilities ordered the railway to stop operation due to unsafe operating conditions.
