A light rail train for PAT crosses the Monongahela River on the Panhandle Bridge. The bridge was constructed in 1903 by Pennsylvania Railroad subsidiary Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis ("The Panhandle Route"). Only Amtrak was using the bridge when all heavy rail service over it ceased in 1979. It was converted to light rail use and opened by PAT in 1985. Just beyond it is the Liberty Bridge.
