The Mauch Chunk and Summit Railroad was a coal-hauling railroad in the mountains of Pennsylvania that operated between 1828 and 1932. It was the first operational railway, in the United States, of any substantial length to carry paying passengers. Pennsylvania's first railroad and first anthracite carrier opened on Saturday, May 5th, 1827, when seven cars of coal passed from the Summit Hill mines of the L.C.&N. Company to their canal at Mauch Chunk, descending 936 feet (285 m) in the nine-mile (14 km) trip. — Earl J. Heydinger

  • De Mauch Chunk Gravity Railroad was in de beginperiode van deze attractie de langste achtbaan die ooit was gebouwd. De spoorlijn in de Verenigde Staten werd oorspronkelijk gebouwd om steenkolen van de mijn naar de haven te vervoeren. De hellinggraad van 1,5° zorgde ervoor dat het treintje, zuiver door de zwaartekracht, in dertig minuten de rit bergafwaarts deed. De terugweg (met behulp van ezels) duurde een paar uur. Er ging slechts één persoon mee op die ritten, om het remsysteem te bedienen. (nl)
