Show your appreciation for Pittsburgh rail history with this Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad men's sport polo shirt. Known as the Little Giant, the railroad carried substantial freight for its route mileage and served the steel region with connections to Youngstown, Connellsville and Lake Erie. Its history includes independent operation, New York Central influence and a return to independence in 1969. A considered choice for railfans and admirers of the industries and communities shaped by the line.
Formed on May 11, 1875, the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad grew from a Pittsburgh businessman's plan into a specialized freight line serving the region's steel industry. Its original route connected Pittsburgh with Youngstown, Ohio, and opened in 1879. The railroad extended south to Connellsville, Pennsylvania, through the Pittsburgh, McKeesport and Youghiogheny Railroad, leased in 1884; it reached Ashtabula, Ohio, on Lake Erie in 1914. New York Central interests gained influence in 1880, and the railroad came under more formal control of the New York Central system in 1887, while operating as an independent subsidiary. Known as the Little Giant, it carried a large share of freight relative to its route mileage, including coal, coke, iron ore, limestone and steel. After New York Central and Pennsylvania combined to form Penn Central in 1968, the P&LE again became independent in 1969. The decline of steel traffic and the end of its independent operation followed: CSX acquired the railroad in 1993 and placed it under the Three Rivers Railway subsidiary. Its Pittsburgh passenger terminal, at the Smithfield Street Bridge, is now part of Station Square.
