Celebrate a distinctive chapter of Pittsburgh rail history in this heavy knit quarter-zip sweatshirt. Work on the Wabash Pittsburgh Terminal Railway began in 1901, and passenger service reached its downtown terminal in 1904. The railway later reorganized as the Pittsburgh and West Virginia Railway, whose 1931 extension to Connellsville helped connect routes associated with the Alphabet Route. Its changing identity reflects the evolution of rail networks across Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia. A considered choice for railfans and collectors drawn to historic railroad names.
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.
