the Vulcan :
the long stretch of uphill road that
runs from Barnesville to Mahanoy City. The patch at the top of the hill
is called Vulcan.
The far side of the Vulcan was
known as "Tunnel Hill" because the railroad tunnel into Buck Mountain goes
under it. The hill was/is used by teenagers to test the speed of their
cars. It was determined by the speed with which your car could top the
Vulcan from the tunnel side.)
