The Allegheny Portage Railroad was the first railroad constructed over the Allegheny Mountains. This inclined plane railroad operated between 1834 and 1854 and ran a distance of 36 miles between Hollidaysburg and Johnstown, connecting two parts of the Pennsylvania Main LIne Canal. A series of 10 inclines and 11 level sections were used to haul freight and carry passengers over the mountains. The opening of the railroad greatly reduced travel time between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh from 3 weeks to 5 days..
