Renaissance Historic Site
At the corner of Pine and Ludlow, an important part of the Switchback Gravity Railroad was completed around 1844. Upon returning from Mauch Chunk, empty mine cars began their Summit Hill descent east of town at the Mount Jefferson Plane. Passing over this bridge, cars continued west to the mines to be loaded with coal and then proceed back down the mountain to the Lehigh Canal.| HM Number | HM2DBU |
