Looks as if the Johnstown Incline Plane won’t be opening this year after all. Yesterday, CamTran officials announced that engineers have identified an issue that caused the Incline Plane to be put on hold earlier this year. Officials say they discovered errors made during the fabrication of the rims of the “sheave wheels.” Organizers with the project says that due to the time it’s going to take to re-fabricate the wheels, the reopening of the incline plane will not occur this year as hoped. In a prepared statement CamTran said, “The goal has been and remains to re-open the Incline to the public so it operates in a safe manner, and fulfills its commitment to ensure longevity and durability of the Incline for many years to come.”
