What exactly is an "incline"? No railway is perfectly level throughout, they all have inclined portions. For instance, the Great Western Main Line (one of the flattest railways in the UK and known as "Brunel's billiard table") is mostly inclined to some degree, although it does not have anything steeper than 1 in 1320 between Paddington and Didcot. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 10:41, 6 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Redrose64: I've made an attempt at defining a scope. Improvements welcome! Optimist on the run (talk) 06:01, 8 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
