Abstract
George Westinghouse is synonymous with Westinghouse Air Brake in Wilmerding, Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing in East Pittsburgh, Union Switch and Signal in Swissvale, home appliances, and KDKA, but few today associate him with natural gas. In between his invention of the air-brake, and later fighting the Current Wars with Thomas Edison, Westinghouse established a natural gas company that was the predecessor of today’s Equitable Gas Company (now EQT).
