About Pitcairn, Pennsylvania
Pitcairn is a borough of 3,101 people in Allegheny County, 12 miles east of downtown Pittsburgh. In 1841 a farmer named John McGinnis, who owned land beside Turtle Creek, began selling parcels of it to other settlers. The Pennsylvania Railroad bought a strip of land from him for its tracks in 1850. In 1874 Robert Pitcairn, one of the railroad's officials, bought 215 more acres here, because the company's yard in Pittsburgh had grown too small for the traffic.
The new yard opened in 1892. Two years later the settlement around it, which residents called Wallurba, split from Patton Township, now Monroeville, and became the borough of Pitcairn. Early in the 20th century the yards and shops employed nearly ten thousand men. The borough had 2,601 people in 1900, and by 1940 the count had reached 6,310. In 1950 the railroad chose to expand its Conway Terminal north of Pittsburgh instead. Pitcairn's yard slowly lost importance after that, and the borough lost people with it.
- Named for Robert PitcairnRobert Pitcairn was born on May 6, 1836, in Johnstone, near Paisley, Scotland. In 1854, once the Pennsylvania Railroad finished its own track over the mountains, he moved to the general superintendent's office at Altoona and stayed there until 1861. He later reached the job he had wanted most, superintendent of the Pittsburgh division, and in 1875 the railroad also made him its general agent at Pittsburgh.
- A rail yard reborn in 1996For decades Pitcairn Yard sorted freight cars for the Pennsylvania Railroad, then for Penn Central and Conrail. In 1996 it reopened as an intermodal yard, where shipping containers are lifted between trains and trucks. Norfolk Southern has run it since 2012.
- The first Fox's Pizza DenThe very first Fox's Pizza Den opened on Broadway Boulevard in Pitcairn in 1971, and that shop is still serving pizza today.
- Its own power and cable TVPitcairn runs its own electric distribution system, and the borough also owns its own government-access cable television channel.
