EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken around 1905, captures an aerial view of the Westinghouse Air Brake Company in Wilmerding, Pennsylvania. The image, created by an unknown photographer, provides a glimpse into the industrial landscape of the United States during the early 20th century. The plant, located in Allegheny County, was a significant contributor to the manufacturing sector, producing air brakes for use on railroads and other transportation systems. The photograph shows the expansive complex, with its numerous buildings, chimneys, and rooftops spread out across the landscape. The elevated perspective offers a unique view of the community that grew up around the factory, with houses and other structures visible in the foreground and background. The image was likely captured using a dry plate negative or glass negative process, common during this time period. The Westinghouse Air Brake Company, also known as WABCO, was founded in 1869 by George Westinghouse and was a major player in the transportation industry. The company's innovations in air brakes revolutionized the railroad industry and helped make travel safer and more efficient. The Wilmerding plant was a key location in the company's operations, employing hundreds of workers and contributing to the local economy. Today, the photograph serves as an important historical record of the industrial heritage of the United States and the role that companies like Westinghouse Air Brake played in shaping the country's industrial landscape. The image is part of the Detroit Publishing Company collection at the Library of Congress and is a reminder of the rich history and innovation that has come before us.
