Pittsburgh rail

 

Pittsburgh. Margaret Bourke-White.

From James O'Brien's obituary, he had been a long time worker for the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie railroad. One can learn more about the railroad on the Great Allegheny Passage website. Several of James' sons also went into the railroad business, as Daniel, William and Thomas can be seen in the 1900 US Census with various jobs with the railroad.

Company records for P&LE railroad can be found at the University of Pittsburgh Library. It is highly possible there is more information on the O'Brien family in these records.
