Pennsylvania, 1885. $100 Specimen 5% First Mortgage Coupon Bond, Black text with black border, Cattle and pigs being herded by men on horseback at top center. Red specimen overprints, 0000 serial numbers, POCs. Fine condition, ABNC. The Pittsburgh and Allegheny Drove Yard Company was chartered in 1884, and in December of that year, the first tracts of land on Herr's Island were purchased for the stockyards. Linked to the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and Ohio railroads by the Pittsburgh Junction Railroad, the Herr's Island stockyards became a significant point of sale and resting place for livestock in transit between the Midwest (Chicago) and eastern markets (Philadelphia and New York City). The island is now a showcase project of urban redevelopment for the City of Pittsburgh. It is now a mixed-use community, home to townhomes and business parks, as well as a marina, the Three Rivers Rowing Association, and the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy.
