The Lookout Mountain Incline Railway will be closing for seasonal repairs on Dec. 31 and will reopen March 2019.

"To ensure the utmost safety for passengers, we continuously provide routine maintenance while complying with Federal transportation standards. We are using the winter months, which is the Incline's off-peak season, to enhance our rider experience," said Lisa Maragnano, executive director of CARTA.
