Railroad History
The H.B. Hays and Brothers Coal Railroad ran along Sreets Run to service the mine developed by J.H. Hays. It ended at Six Mile Ferry, on the Monongahela. The Pittsburgh Southern Railroad and its successor, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, also had lines running though the valley. The Whitehall Tunnel connects this valley with the Peters Creek watershed.
