Erie-Lackawanna Railway
This series presents detailed views of two abandoned railway cars
parked near Station Square under the Panhandle Bridge (Monongahela
River Bridge), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. One of the cars is an
Erie-Lackawanna electric passenger car and the other (see photo
below) is a Bottle Type hot metal car built by MH Treadwell Company
of Easton, Pennsylvania.
I saw nothing aesthetically pleasing about either
one of these graffiti-covered cars when I first saw them from a nearby walking path. After a closer look inside the
passenger car, my perspective changed. You can see some of the structural details presented here.
