<DIV><FONT size=4>P&WV did indeed at one time own the Pittsburgh Terminal
Coal Company. However, even though the coal outfit was separately incorporated,
there was an issue with the Commodities Clause of the Interstate Commerce Act
(added as part of the Hepburn Act of 1906), and this led to government pressure
to sell the coal company, which the P&WV did in 1924. </FONT></DIV>

link leads to an abandoned mining patch story in the Pittsburgh Press ("50 Heath
Law Violations….") in the postwar period at Castle Shannon.
Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Company sounds like a subsidiary of Wabash-Pittsburgh
Terminal Railroad, i.e. the Pittsburgh and West Virginia. The
earlier maps show they did own Mine 7 down at Washington Junction.
However, I have no clue that it was in Castle Shannon borough in 1947 … it was
not 40 years
earlier.<BR><BR>http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=mfUaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=40wEAAAAIBAJ&pg=3890%2C1953753<BR><BR>Anyone
knowledgeable enough to tell me what this refers to in todays
terms?<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Pittsburgh-railways
