Historical Context
This line was incorporated on April 21, 1854 to run from a point where it would connect with the Little Schuylkill Navigation Railroad and Coal Company, about five miles north from Tamaqua, and thence by a route considered favorable by the directors to "any point or points in the Mahanoy second coal field, with suitable branch roads thereon not exceeding in the whole twenty-five miles in length."
An act of April 11th, 1859, authorized the leasing of this road to the Little Schuylkill Company; and another of April 21st in the same year revived the charter and extended the time for commencement of construction five years.
It was constructed, in accordance with the provisions of its charter, to the southern base of Mahanoy mountain at a point about four miles from Mahanoy City. It passed under the mountain through a tunnel some 4,000 feet in length. It was extended to Mahanoy City and there connected with the railway system in the eastern part of the county.
The road was built under the patronage of the Little Schuylkill Railroad Company, and after its completion, was leased by that company.
