Carnegie Scheme Aims Lake Erie Rail Link To Pittsburgh Area
The Lake Erie Alliance and Southern Railroad proposal seeks a northern extension to the lake and Steubenville, with Andrew Carnegie as a principal stockholder. The plan would connect Berghelts to Fairport, creating a direct Pittsburgh to lake Erie route and boosting freight for Carnegie’s mills. The venture hinges on whether to extend from Phalanx to Fairport or build independently from Phalanx to Fairport.
