Enos H. Horst Coal Wagon

The Enos H. Horst coal and farm supply business of 124 Lincoln Way West, Chambersburg, PA, illustrates that the industrialization of the anthracite region contributed to a wagon trade for the marketing of anthracite both near and far. This vehicle was capable of carrying two tons of coal and could divide the deliveries into two one-ton transactions. The wagon has a scissor mechanism to elevate the bed to dump the coal.
