A Look Back: Railroads and History
Mount Dallas has an interesting past connected to railroads. It was once the northern end, or "terminus," of the Bedford and Bridgeport Railroad. This railway line is no longer in use today. It was once controlled by a very famous company called the Pennsylvania Railroad. Mount Dallas was also an important planned stop for another big railway project, the South Pennsylvania Railroad, but this project was never finished.
