  • Description
  • The Union Railroad’s Steam Locomotive (Baldwin 0102). The Union Railroad took a north-south route crossing through Monroeville along the western edge of the community on its way to Carnegie Steel and the other mills in the Mon Valley. The idea of running a railroad from Lake Erie to Pittsburgh was originally conceived by Andrew Carnegie so that he could ship coal directly to his coke production facilities on the Monongahela, thus avoiding the freight hauling fees of his rival, the Pennsylvania Railroad
