Wabash Completes Connecting Link to Pittsburg for Rail Freight
The Wabash Railroad completed the connecting link between the Westside Belt and the Union lines, enabling the first shipment from the Monongahela Valley steel plants to the west. After four years and about 40 million spent, ten cars of structural material began moving yesterday afternoon, with initial freight volume limited as ballast and surface work proceed. George J. Gould aimed to connect with major steel plants, overcoming rivals, and the line's completion marks the railway’s entrance to this district.
