Biographical / Historical
The West Side Belt Railroad Company (WSB) ran from Temperanceville to Clairton, Pennsylvania with a branch to Banksville. In November 1920, stockholders of the Pittsburgh and West Virginia Railway Company (PWV) voted to purchase the WSB. PWV took over operations of the WSB, but their acquisition of WSB was not officially approved until late 1928.
