Allegheny Portage Railroad |
|
The Allegheny Portage
Railroad was a great achievement
in early travel. Charles
Dickens, Jenny Linn, and Ulysses
S. Grant traveled over the
Allegheny Mountains. They braved
a system that injured passengers
on a weekly basis. A system of
inclined planes and a nine
hundred foot tunnel carved
through solid rock by Welsh
coalminers made this feat
possible. For twenty years, it
was the fastest way to
transgress the rough and wild
terrain of Pennsylvania.
