Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad Station


The Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad Station, now Landry's, Inc.'s the Grand Concourse restaurant in Station Square Plaza in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is a building constructed in 1898. Into the 1960s, the station was the depot for the passenger rail operations of the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad and the Pittsburgh depot from 1934 for the many trains of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from Baltimore, Washington, Chicago, Detroit, and St. Louis. In 1934, the B&O obtained trackage rights on the P&LE from New Castle Junction to McKeesport and until the discontinuance of its passenger service used the P&LE station to reduce the amount of heavy curvature trackage required to reach the original B&O station on the opposite side of the Monongahela River.
The Pittsburgh Station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
