The P&WV Hi-Line

[flatspot]

I am currently researching a project for the Carnegie Historical Society focusing on immigrants to Carnegie and the industies that employed them. We are also looking for former employees from all industries to interview about living and working in Carnegie. We have a particular interest in railroad employee's and thier families. Also any vintage photo's of past structures or mines that were serviced would be appreciated. My name is Gary and can reached either here or at 412-429-5680

CARrrrrrNegieee.......! The PRR conductor would call-out as the Local from Pittsburgh rolled into the Carnegie Station. I still remember this, I was 10 or 11 yrs. old at the time. PRR RS-3 and 3 open window coaches.
My parents lived over on "Johnny Bull Hill" before moving to Scott Twp. I went to St. Lukes Grade School for 8 years the to Canevin H.S. Class of 66'.
Lots of folks who lived in Carnegie worked for Railroads PRR/P&WV and as you may re-call a great many worked for Superior Steel Co. I don't have any Carnegie Pics (R.R. or Mines)in my collection. We have a pile of stuff on/in and about Rook that we plan to post. We will ask some of our collector connections what they may have in regards to Carnegie. Have not been over that way (Carnegie) for a visit in several years.

Johnny Bull Hill,.... this was very near the old "Carnegie Park" area.
