Welcome to Kahndog Publications website. Western Pennsylvania railroading is our
specialty, and Kahndog offers you a monthly gallery of fallen flag pictures from
the past. We hope that you enjoy the site’s archive galleries too, and will find
our book offerings interesting, as well.
Current Projects include:
ENGINE FOR CHANGE Authored by Jack Polaritz with Beaver County
historian Charles Townsend III, this book tells the story of the development of
the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad in heavily-industrialized Beaver County,
Pennsylvania, adjacent to Pittsburgh. Richly illustrated with photographs, maps
and documents, the book traces the beginnings of the P&LE, and how important the
Beaver community was to its beginnings and to its becoming “The Little Giant”.
The book includes histories of the communities, various mills, railroad
facilities and operations as they evolved on the P&LE in the county from 1874 to
1992. Publication of the projected 240 page book is planned for Fall, 2008.
MONONGHALEA RAILWAY MOTIVE POWER Authored by David Gratz and Jack
Polaritz will present the locomotives that were owned by the Monongahela Railway
and its predecessors from steam and diesel operations. Many never before seen
action photographs will be included, in addition to drawings and documents from
Mr. Gratz’s collection from his days as General Superintendent of the line.
Publication of the planned 64 page book is scheduled for the Fall, 2008.
Kahndog has additional content about these main line railroads in our monthly
photo galleries: the Baltimore &
Ohio, Chessie System, CSX, the Pennsylvania Railroad, Penn Central, New York
Central, Conrail, Ohio Central, Western Maryland, Pittsburgh & West Virginia,
Norfolk & Western, Norfolk Southern and Bessemer & Lake Erie, which served
Western Pennsylvania.
Kahndog also contains information and photographs of steel mill railroads such
as U. S. Steel's Union Railroad, J&L's Aliquippa & Southern and Monongahela
Connecting Railroads, as well as a host of short line and other mill railroads.
Welcome to Kahndog.com. We hope you will find it both educational and enjoyable.
