Walton's Coal Incline

Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

There is a U.S. benchmark in the general area of Becks Run called the "Walton's coal incline". Does anyone know if this is related to the railroad? Pustelnik (talk) 02:51, 9 January 2009 (UTC) This may be the incline on pool 2 in West Elizabeth, Pennsylvania. Pustelnik (talk) 02:48, 10 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Exact track gauge

Does anyone happen to know the exact track gauge used on the H.B. Hays and Brothers Coal Railroad? I have successfully found sources for the precise, previously unknown/unproven track gauges of several other narrow gauge railroads, but for some reason I cannot find any good information for this railroad. The most likely candidate is 3 ft (914 mm), as it is the most common narrow gauge in the United States; however, in the western part of Pennsylvania where this railroad was located and during the same time, there were a few other narrow gauge railroads measuring 3 ft 4 in (1,016 mm) and 3 ft 2 in (965 mm). 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) is another possibility, as it became a popular choice for rail lines in US coal mines.
