Carry a piece of Pittsburgh rail history into everyday wear with this Wabash Pittsburgh Terminal Railway quarter zip pullover. The railway began as an ambitious extension of George J. Gould's network, bringing passenger service into Pittsburgh in 1904. Its story continued through reorganization as the Pittsburgh and West Virginia Railway and a place in the Alphabet Route. A thoughtful pick for rail enthusiasts, regional history fans, and anyone drawn to the changing lines that connected Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia.

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.
