The ('''D&H Gravity Railroad''') was a
Gravity Railroad which carried coal from
Carbondale over the Moosic Mountains to the
D&H Canal in
Honesdale . This railroad used separate ''loaded'' and ''light'' tracks. The trains were unpowered. They ran by gravity to the bottom of a grade, where they were attached to a cable and hauled up a short, steep plane by a stationary steam engine. The loaded tracks had planes pointing in the direction of Honesdale; the light tracks had planes pointing in the direction of Carbondale.
Many traces of the tracks remain in the Moosic Mountains. They can still be located on current aerial photographs.
