Charles Dickens, Jenny Lynn, and Ulysses S. Grant traveled over the Allegheny Mountains. Once a week, they broke the system that hurt passengers. A sloping system and a 900-foot tunnel were carved into the hard rock of the Welsh miner to enable this feat. For 20 years it was the fastest way to cross the wildly wild terrain of Pennsylvania. Once again, slopes and winches are seen on the site, which are used to pull a loaded cart onto the hill. four dollars.
