Mine Hill and Schuylkill Haven Railroad
The Mine Hill & Schuylkill Haven Railroad (MH&SH) was operating by April 1831 in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, from above Mine Hill Gap (north of Minersville) to Schuylkill Haven on the Schuylkill Canal. This railroad was developed by the New York and Schuylkill Coal Co., and was one of the important early "lateral" railroads of Schuylkill County which were constructed to accommodate the Schuylkill canal (in this case located at Schuylkill Haven) with coal tonnage from the more remote areas where mines were operating.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
