Anthracite Coal was loaded at the foot of Mount Pisgah from above historic Mauch Chunk (present-day Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania). At the top of the image the visible railway 'Wye' is the cross-over between the gravity railroad down track and the cable railroad and inclined plane up railway of the Summit Hill and Mauch Chunk Railroad (aka: 'Mauch Chunk Switchback Railway'; the second operating railway in the country. The railway is considered the first roller coaster in the world and did a tourist trade as early as 1827; and ended it's life serving such tourists between the 1870s and 1931.
