Mount Lowe Railway, railway line in the United States of America
Mount Lowe Railway was a cog railway line that carried passengers up the San Gabriel Mountains near Los Angeles. The route climbed through mountainous terrain with multiple stations positioned along the ascent.
The cog railway was built during the 1890s and provided visitors access to the higher elevations of the San Gabriel Mountains. The line operated until it ceased service in the 1950s and stands today as a landmark from that era of mountain railway development.
Remnants of the railway can be found throughout the mountains and require hiking on established trails to explore the historical remains. Visitors should expect mountainous terrain and elevation changes while exploring the site.
Several original tunnels, bridges, and station structures remain visible today even though the tracks have long been removed. These engineering features provide a rare window into the construction methods of the late 1800s.
