Wabash-Pittsburgh Terminal Railway Company operated a railroad in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Wheeling, West Virginia areas in the early 1900s. The company failed within a few years of being formed and was taken over by the Pittsburgh and West Virginia Railway. The Wabash Pittsburgh Terminal Railway was a Pittsburgh extension of George J. Gould’s Wabash Railroad, however, the venture entered receivership in 1908 and the line was cut loose.
The original Wabash Pittsburgh Terminal Railway built several massive engineering works, including the Wabash Terminal in downtown Pittsburgh (see attached photos ca. 1905), damaged by two fires in 1946 and demolished in 1953. They also built the Wabash Bridge over the Monongahela River into Pittsburgh that was torn down in 1948, and the Wabash Tunnel just southwest of the bridge through Mount Washington.
