A fact from Gilmore and Pittsburgh Railroad appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 19 July 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that, as a result of track switchbacks on either side of a mountain pass, all trains of the Gilmore and Pittsburgh Railroad crossed over the U.S. continental divide running backwards?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/July.
