1991 Westinghouse RT HIGHdraulic Glass Elevator - Carnegie Science Center - Pittsburgh, PA

This is my first video! Recorded in June 2012. This is a video of the very busy glass elevator at the Carnegie Science Center. This was taken on a Canon Powershot A470. This may look like a Schindler, but this is a late Westinghouse RT elevator. KZbin users JJMoDElevatorFreak, ThyssenElevator95, & DieselElevators have filmed this elevator. There is also a non-glass elevator that I didn't know exsisted here, so I didn't get to that one. Next time I'm here, I'll try to film it.

The Westinghouse was pretty well used and warn out. Mainly with the door equipment, they modded it and got new landing doors and possibly new car doors too. New controller and fixtures, I think the motor could still be original. The elevator in the back is still original Westinghouse RT.

Awesome video man! Schindler RT elevator is absolutely a classic!

This must've been installed in 1989.

"Don't take pictures of me or i'll break your camera!" LOL

[@Ih8kone]

She said "You'll" break your camera.

[@Ih8kone]

That lady should have been arrested for destruction of private property.

This elevator has since been modded by Otis w/ Series M2 fixtures.

[@Ih8kone]

Damnit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@NathanDavisVideos]

Actually I'm pretty sure it's a Westinghouse RT from 1990-'91 which was one of the very last Westinghouse elevators ever installed because the the other elevator has a Westinghouse interlock and the freight I heard has Westinghouse AE fixtures.

Nathan Davis Next time I return here, I will retake the glass elevator, film the enclosed elevator that I didn't even know existed when I first visited here, and try to film the freight elevator.

[@NathanDavisVideos]

Brandon Miller Hopefully when you're back Pittsburgh next time I would also like to meet you. Say when are coming back?

[@OPG2711]

@NathanAndrewDavis Just because a company acquires another company doesn’t mean they merged. Westinghouse and Schindler NEVER ACTUALLY merged. They were bought out completely in one day in 1989.

[@EWPA14]

They’ve since built a whole new addition, which has Otis elevators w/ Series 2 fixtures.

[@Ih8kone]

Is this still here?

[@EWPA14]

Yes, but modded by Otis.

[@herobro10gaming55]

Can you get the Rangos Omnimax Theater Elevator as Well?

[@SUPERSTAR10008]

lol that gotta series 1 chime

[@OPG2711]

Schindler bought Westinghouse in 1989.

[@brandonmiller6629]

Ok, but how do you explain the fact that this & the freight elevator have Westinghouse interlocks?

[@OPG2711]

Then how can these be installed in 1991?

[@brandonmiller6629]

Because of the fact that the Carnegie Science Center opened in 1991. Maybe I could be wrong. Maybe it was installed in 1989 or 1990 while it was still under construction.

[@EWPA14]

Brandon Miller These were installed in 1990 (certificate), & indeed have Westinghouse door equipment. You’re indeed right that the place opened in 1991, but the elevators were installed in around Oct. 1990. This 1 has since received an Otis M2 mod. but the Rangos elevator (the 1 you didn’t originally know about) is still original. And the freight elevator doesn’t have Westy door equipment, it has EMS door equipment, & installed by Minnesota Elevator in Oct. ‘90 (tag in elevator).

@ElevatingWesternPA Either the records are incorrect, or Schindler was using up Westinghouse parts at this time. Westinghouse did NOT exist after 1989.
