ON THE BACK COVER
The Pittsburgh & West Virginia Railway began operations in January 1917, a court approved reorganization of the remaining assets of the ill-fated Wabash Pittsburgh Terminal Railway. With its companion West Side Belt Railroad line, the P&WV connected track from Pittsburgh on west to Pittsburgh Junction, Ohio and to the east at Connellsville, Pennsylvania. Mainstay of the P&WV's business was hauling freight between the Western Maryland at Connellsville and the Wheeling & Lake Erie line at Brewster, Ohio. Passenger train service was in operation for about fifteen years and was phased out in May 1932. The railroad survived the great depression, World War II and the post war years, finally becoming a leased line of the Norfolk & Western Railway in October 1964.
