Bring a piece of Pittsburgh railroad heritage along for a day on the course with this Wabash Pittsburgh Terminal Railway golf towel. The line was built as an ambitious extension, bringing passenger service into Pittsburgh in 1904 before its later reorganization as the Pittsburgh and West Virginia Railway. Connections associated with the Alphabet Route give its story a regional reach beyond the city. A distinctive choice for golfers who are also train enthusiasts, railroad collectors, or admirers of local history and changing transportation networks.
The Wabash Pittsburgh Terminal Railway was built as a Pittsburgh extension of George J. Gould's Wabash Railroad system. Work began in 1901, and the company was formed in 1904 by consolidating three chartered railroads and transferring related properties. Passenger service into Pittsburgh's Wabash Terminal began in 1904, with through trains to Toledo, Chicago, St. Louis, and Kansas City. The railway entered receivership in 1908; after a foreclosure sale in 1916, it was reorganized as the Pittsburgh and West Virginia Railway. In 1931, an extension opened to Connellsville, Pennsylvania, connecting with the Western Maryland Railway through other rail lines and helping form the Alphabet Route. The Norfolk and Western Railway leased the P&WV in 1964. In 1990, the lease transferred to a new Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway after Norfolk Southern spun off much of the former W&LE. The original Pittsburgh terminal was damaged by fires in 1946 and demolished in 1953; the Wabash Bridge was removed in 1948.
