This book completes the Pittsburgh Railroad Book trilogy that spanned the life of this railroad and its predecessor Little Saw Mill Run line, the receivership years under the ill-fated Wabash Pittsburgh Terminal Railway, and the rebirth as part of the Pittsburgh & West Virginia Railway. As testament to the longevity of the West Side Belt, one can still visit portions of the right of way and occasionally see a train pass by. The years have marched on; the Belt, Wabash and P&WV names are gone, but the rails and route remain, serving business and industry, maintaining a faint heartbeat, keeping the rails "alive." How much longer we will have the old railroad no one can say for sure in these uncertain times. It is fitting as tribute to the "old Lady" and those many folks who worked for the line to record the birth, life, and times of one of Pittsburgh's most historically important railroads. West Side Belt Railroad tells that story... and more.
