The Lookout Mountain Incline Railway has been closed for repairs and will reopen in late February, officials said Wednesday.

The rail was scheduled to be shut down Dec. 3 for track repair, but mechanical problems pushed up the closure date, Tom Dugan, Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority executive director, said in a news release.
