History
The original Dormont Junction was a wye between the Pittsburgh Railways private right of way 42 Dormont and the street running 38 Mt. Lebanon. The station stopped being a junction in 1963 when the two routes were combined into the 42/38 Mt. Lebanon Beechview, but the name remained. However, it remains one of only a few places along the route with a Railroad switch allowing the trains to switch tracks. The current station was built in 1985 along with the 2800 ft Mt. Lebanon Tunnel, which bypassed 8 blocks of street running along Washington Road.
