Historical Context
The North Lebanon Rail Road Company was incorporated in Pennsylvania on May 25, 1850 by George Dawson Coleman and William Coleman and opened in 1855.
The railroad extended for about six miles from the ore banks in Cornwall to the Union Canal in Lebanon City. Originally ore laden carts were pulled by teams of mules. This type of operation only lasted seven months until a locomotive was purchased, capable of pulling the same weight that would have taken a team of one hundred mules.
In 1857 the Lebanon Valley Railroad reached Lebanon and built an interchange with the North Lebanon Railroad (the Lebanon Valley Railroad quickly became part of the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad). In 1870, the North Lebanon Railroad's name was changed to the Cornwall Railroad.
