Pittsburgh P.A. passenger trains

[jacksonbarno]

I have done a bit of research into Pittsburgh's rail services and I have found that it was served by five railroads:
The Wabash (until 1948)
The P&LE
The B&O
The PRR & subsidiaries
The Bessemer and Lake Erie
The Wheeling and Lake Erie
EDIT: also the N&W (thanks Deadpool)


I know that the Wabash, B&O, PRR, and P&LE railroads had stations in Pittsburgh, and we can rule out the B&O and PRR as far as my questions are concerned.
Did the Wabash, P&LE, or B&LE railroads operate passenger services int Pittsburgh? If so, what station did the B&LE use?
Thanks,
J

I think the N&W ran one too, there are bridges all through Pittsburgh with N&W painted on them.

I think the Pittsburgh & West Virginia Railroad also operated passenger trains until either the late 1930s or early '40s.

If you haven't already done so, you might have at look at Railroads of the Pittsburgh District: A Part of the Pittsburgh Plan, published in 1923, which can provide some details about the railroad lines in Pittsburgh during the '20s.

Another source of info is the book Pittsburgh: How to See It, published in 1916, which provides details of the rail lines into Pittsburgh. According to the book, twenty-two railroads run into Pittsburgh at the time the book was written. It has illustrations/photos of at least four different passenger stations in Pittsburgh.

Yet another book with info is the Report on the Pittsburgh Transportation Problem, published in 1910.

I think the N&W ran one too, there are bridges all through Pittsburgh with N&W painted on them.

The N&W logo is on them because the N&W leased the Wabash (and also the Pittsburgh & West Virginia) in the 1960s, purchased the PRR's stock in the Wabash during the '70s, and by the '90s owned the Wabash outright.
