Rumour has it, yes. That was supposedly the train arrival for the Gettysburg Address and if so, it could have been Lincoln....or his stunt double...

I was curious, this is what Google shows. Amazing what they did to get coal.
The photo shows the view up the steep incline towards Mount Pisgah. This section of the railroad, originally built to transport coal, was created in 1846. Given the excitement of the ride and the beauty of the scenery the railroad soon became a tourist attraction. The ascent was powered by a ratchet system that later evolved into the mechanism used in rollercoasters. The descent was gravity-driven. The line closed in 1932 and the tracks were dismantled but parts of the route are now on the National Register of Historic Places.

Either the one o’clock is early or the eight o’clock is late.
