Steel Less Pittsburgh is about funding a build back better area for the products needed for High-Speed Rail in the areas that became a rust belt from Pittsburgh to St Louis, a route paralleling what’s known as the National Highway and prior to being abandoned was a part of the Strategic Rail Network for the purposes of national defense. A route used by the Broadway Limited running from New York to Los Angeles, a route that could be a keystone in det NYC to LA in a Day HSR in the near future. Unlike other projects that are being rebuilt due to deterioration, the rail artery through Pittsburgh was purposely removed for political reasons. The counties in included in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio were Democratic strongholds with solid union affiliations. As a result of the politics, a law created to get rid of bankrupt railroad companies was used to get rid of voting blocks. One politician said it best, “The Dems have the area sewn up and don’t need to protect it and we have to give the Republicans something.” In the end it caused families to be lost and dems to become MAGA types.
