Westinghouse Transportation Division

The Westinghouse Transportation Division was the rail and transit equipment arm of the Westinghouse Electric Corporation of Pittsburgh, established in 1894. It supplied equipment and controls for many North American interurban and streetcar lines and for rapid transit systems including the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit, the Washington Metro and New York City Subway cars, and it built locomotives, often in partnership with Baldwin and Lima-Hamilton, while also supplying electrical and traction equipment for Fairbanks-Morse diesel locomotives. From 1904, with Baldwin, it marketed Baldwin-Westinghouse electric locomotives and the single-phase alternating current electrification of railroads, notably for the New Haven Railroad. In 1964 the division began the Skybus project, the start of its automated mass transit work, and it went on to design and build automated people movers for several major United States airports. Westinghouse sold the division to AEG in 1988, and it later merged into Adtranz in 1996, Bombardier Transportation in 2001 and Alstom in 2021. This make covers vehicles built under the Westinghouse name.
