Traces of the first railroad crossing of the Allegheny Mountains can still be seen here. An inclined-plane railroad built between 1831 and 1834, it permitted transportation of passengers and freight over the mountains, providing a critical link in the Pennsylvania Mainline Canal system and with the west.
