From
humble beginnings in the 1800s, the Pennsylvania
Railroad grew to be one of the most powerful, influential railroads in
American history – a railroad that Fortune Magazine called “a
nation unto itself.”
The PRR owned its own shops, coal mines, hotels, communications system, and
power plants, not to mention hundreds of depots (including the famous Penn
Station in Manhattan), thousands of passenger cars, tens of thousands of freight
cars, and a vast fleet of steam, electric, and diesel locomotives.
The Pennsy’s 10,000 route-miles served thirteen of the most populous and most
industrialized states in the United States.
Pennsylvania Railroad examines
the mighty railroad’s evolution from a disparate group of early horse car lines
into a twentieth-century transportation giant.
Color and black-and-white photographs and period ads illustrate the railroad’s
many facets, including both its passenger and freight operations, as well its motive
power through the decades. Though the Pennsy was merged out of existence in
1968, an epilogue details the PRR legacies that survive on today’s modern
railroad scene.
Hardbound, 8.5x11, 160 pages, 150+ color and b&w photos,
route maps, period ads, and timetables.
