  • Description
  • The Mesta Machine Company was one of the leading manufacturers of machine tool and steel mill equipment in the world during the first half of the twentieth century. Some of their products included, gas and steam blowing engines for blast furnaces, forging presses, shears, cut and machine-molded gears, and various types of rolls used in rolling mills. The Mesta Station (left center) was located on the Monongahela side of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The large metal bridge pictured connected the General Office Building to other areas of the facility. There were numerous trains that passed through the station every day, and it generally took about twenty minutes to travel the six miles from Pittsburgh to the Mesta Station by train.
