  Coal Mining: Renton's Black Diamond Industry
Coal deposits were found in the hills surrounding Renton as early as 1853.
Coal mine shafts in the area were often driven deep into a hillside, at a 12-percent grade, reaching lengths of more than a mile underground.
Because coal seams quickly descended at sharp angles under the hills east of Renton, the incline and sudden changes in track angle required that the wheels of these coal cars be closely set together (as seen).
