Main Line of Public Works
The Main Line of Public Works was a railroad and canal system built by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, running from Philadelphia west through Harrisburg and across the state to Pittsburgh. It consisted of the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad from Philadelphia to Columbia in Lancaster County, the Allegheny Portage Railroad from Hollidaysburg to Johnstown, and canals connecting the two railroads and from Johnstown to Pittsburgh.
