The Monongahela Incline, which shut down Tuesday, will remain closed for the remainder of the week, Pittsburgh Regional Transit said.
In a statement Wednesday, Pittsburgh Regional Transit said the 154-year-old incline shut down Tuesday afternoon when a brake resistor and motor controller unexpectedly failed. The incline cars were docked at the stations at the time of the incident.
PRT previously credited “an issue with the doors” for the closure on Tuesday.
The Mon Incline is down at this time due to an issue with the doors. A shuttle bus will operate between the upper and lower stations. We'll provide more information as we receive it.

The incline will be inspected by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry once repaired before it can run again, officials said.
