New community, Columbiapa

I think this is into west aliquippa, yes? It’s literally the only way in or out of that neighborhood.

Maybe I’m wrong and this is the old now defunct footbridge into that neighborhood. I apologize if that’s the case. Jones and Laughlin steel was the predominant employer in the area

You’re correct, it’s the old foot bridge from 51, over the tracks, and into the mill. My grandfather took that bridge to work 35 years. This really brings back memories!

Amazing. Both of my grandfathers worked there through the 60s and 70s. I grew up in monaca. A stones throw from there. Remembering when 51 was a dangerous, poor draining two lane road!

I wanna see more of these. I love seeing old photos of daily life in small towns

Great photo. Almost everybody walked or took a trolley or bus to work in the mill back then. The Aliquippa works of Jones & Laughlin Steel stretched for 7 miles along the Ohio River 25 miles from Pittsburgh and employed 15,000 people at its peak. The town of Aliquippa was built by the steel company and each ethnic group had its own neighborhood.

I think that this is the "overhead bridge" along present day Constitution Blvd. between the Ambridge Bridge and the town of Aliquippa. This was a common drop off point and bus stop for those working in the South Mills.

This reminds me of a lot of similar pictures of Pottstown from the same era. It's weird to think of a regular train service.

This has a very specific feeling to it that I love, also, it gives off massive wPA/Pittsburgh area vibes

Nice shot of 51. traveled this many years doing field service.

Finally some aliquippa love hehe. I gotta find my granddaddys old books and post some for yall

Drove through Aliquippa not too long ago. It's sad to see the area struggling after the big companies left the area, but this photo is a nice peak into what was, thanks for sharing.

I’d love to share this with the mayor. Are you the original photographer?
