| Jordan F. Klink posted Back when Pittsbugh's P&LE station was a station rather than a restaurant, Baltimore & Ohio train 8, the Shenandoah, gets underway for Washington behind E8 1465, a former C&O unit. This was the pre-Amtrak all-stops local on the east end of the B&O. Balducci B. Richard shared |

| William Hakkarinen posted Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Starion in Pittsburgh, PA still scheduled one P&LE commuter train on weekdays in 1979. Here the station also hosted private cars. Bill Gray: On the right is Ex C&O 5 Double Bedroom Lounge Observation Pullman Lot 6863 Plan 4175 P-S built 1950 as "New River Club" after conversion to President Walter Tuohy's Office Car "Chessie 29" later owned by Burrell Construction. John Nagy: Interesting that it was ONE train per day. I guess you either got to your destination and went home via another mode or the reverse. William Hakkarinen: John Nagy Sorry, I meant one train, inbound in morning, home after work. Robert Willison: The service was created to service workers in the steel mills, from which the road received most of its revenues from. The railroad ran one round trip after the mid 60's. They tried and fail to discontinue the service in 1978. In 1985 the railroad it was taken over by CSX, and the remaining service was dropped. |

| Keith Schaffler commented on the above post The P&LE single roundtrip commuter service was pitiful at the end. The coaches were beyond decrepit. Actually made Metro North equipment look good further east. (Photo George W Hamlin collection). The other Pittsburgh service, PATrain, looked great at the end. |

| Jackson-Township historical preservation posted Busy railroads with trains in front of the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Train Station along the Monongahela River in Downtown Pittsburgh in 1949. Today this would be the site of the Grand Concourse Restaurant at Station Square. The train pictured is about to leave and will pass the old Fort Pitt Bridge and Duquesne Incline on to Youngstown, Ohio and points west. (Photo from Richard L. Hunter via https://www.facebook.com/groups/132768683480072/) Derrick Reefer: It was actually the Point Bridge then! The Fort Pitt bridge was built over 10 years after this. The West End Bridge is still there in the distance tho. Paul Stumpff: We have had discussion on another page that this photo was forwarded to and picture may be older than 1949. Nor have we determined ultimate destination after Youngstown from picture though our discussion was centered on Buffalo. Trains leaving on the P&LE [controlled by the New York Central] could go via the Erie RR at Youngstown to Cleveland and then on NYC to Detroit or Chicago; or at Youngstown via NYC to Ashtabula then onto Buffalo, that route was fastest of 3 ways from Pittsburgh to Buffalo [5:45 on one train], |
