From the PG:
PITCAIRN YARD – As a mechanical lift grips a 40-foot steel container in its jaws, Patrick Hobbs is seated on top, his feet dangling not far from the blue letters – COSCO – signifying the box as an import from the China Ocean Shipping Co.
“Hold on,” says the president of AGX Intermodal, a rail-to-truck carrier.
The 8,730-pound capsule groans and creaks as it hoists its human cargo 30 feet in the air. From a perch high atop a stack of containers meant to hold material weighing as much as 188,000 pounds, it is easy to see how this railroad yard has become a new node in the flow of international commerce through the Pittsburgh area, thus reclaiming part of its past.
