Westinghouse Air Brake Company
Shring left school at the age of 13 and worked with his brothers at the Westinghouse Air Brake Company. The job resulted in him moving his family from Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania to nearby Wilmerding. He built his family's house in 1898, which was picked up and moved across the street in the 1960s, to make room for an expressway. The house remains in that location to this day.
