| Keywords: Original Photographs Collection Caption: Landmark sold as scrap--The James street incline, erected about half a century ago, but not operated for the last several years, has been sold to the International Iron and Metal company, of this city, and workers started to dismantle it this morning. The Runnymede Iron and Steel company has contracted to tear down the incline for the new owners. In the photograph is shown a view from the incline platform on upper James street, while inset shows one of the cars. The incline car which is now against the upper James street platform will shortly start on its last trip down the rails. A derrick is to be mounted on the car, and the tracks and tressle will be torn up and loaded on the car as it is lowered further down the line toward the bottom of the Mountain.
