Allegheny Portage Railroad PA41 Print E-mail
From 1834 to 1854 this 36-mile line connected Hollidaysburg to Johnstown. The railroad portaged canal boats over the Allegheny Mountains, which formed a barrier to the Pennsylvania canal system. Horses and mules pulled the first trains. Later steam locomotives were used. At the center of the line, Plane #2 served as the railroad headquarters.
Intersection of Rts. 53 & 164, Portage Twp. Cambria County Pennsylvania.
