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.

“People who make puns are like wanton boys that put coppers on the railroad tracks. They amuse themselves and other children, but their little trick may upset a freight train of conversation for the sake of a battered witticism.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
“Don’t you realize that this is a new empire? Why, folks, there’s never been anything like this since creation. Creation, huh, that took six days, this was done in one. History made in an hour. Why it’s a miracle out of the Old Testament!”
—Howard Estabrook (1884–1978)
