The Duquesne Incline was originally built in 1877 to carry cargo up Pittsburgh’s Mt. Washington. Today, the funicular allows for gorgeous views of the Pennsylvanian city.

There are a lot of large clocks in the world. Here are ten of them, plotted to show their relative sizes. As it turns out, Big Ben (ok, that’s actually the bell, but everyone calls the clock Big Ben) isn’t even among the 20 largest clocks in the world. I included it here, though, so you can see just how small it is relative to some of the record holders. Another fun fact: the two largest clock faces in the USA are both octagonal.
