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.

“I was the conductor of the Underground Railroad for eight years, and I can say what most conductors can’t say—I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger.”
—Harriet Tubman (1821–1913)
“No one is ahead of his time, it is only that the particular variety of creating his time is the one that his contemporaries who are also creating their own time refuse to accept.... For a very long time everybody refuses and then almost without a pause almost everybody accepts. In the history of the refused in the arts and literature the rapidity of the change is always startling.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
