1930s Manual Westinghouse Freight Elevator at Gulf Building Pittsburgh, pa Dieselducy

This is a gated manually operated freight elevator at the Gulf Tower in Downtown Pittsburgh Pennsylvania riding with DieselDucy.
Do not ride these elevators without permission, we had permission to take a ride of this elevator.

When this building battled a terrible fire last year and reopened months later, all the other elevators were down, therefore this one was open to the public at the time. :/ It's still original to this day. :)

Reminds me of the old manually operated elevator at 78 Main Street in Downtown Northampton, MA which was manually operated until Late 1998/Early 1999.

This elevator is still here too this day and original. I havnt been on it since then though. Need permission for this one. I was just here before Christmas and rode the main elevator
