In coal mining areas the inclined plane railroad was a economical way to transport coal over mountains and steep valleys where standard railroad or canal boat use was impossible.

In eastern PA around Jim Thorpe (formerly Mauch Chunk) from the 1820's into the 1930's a number of inclined planes were in use to help move more coal to Philadelphia and other major cities.
