At its peak the Pennsylvania
was the largest railroad in the world. It operated 28,000 miles of
track, directly served half of the U.S., and hauled more freight and
passengers than any other railroad in the world. This colorful tribute
to the Pennsylvania Railroad, the keystone of American transportation
for 121 years, is filled with Pennsys crack passenger trains, including
the Broadway Limited and Pennsylvania Limited, which connected New York
City and Philadelphia with Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and Chicago. The
authors have filled this book with archival and color photos of the
locomotives, trains and events of the Pennsylvania Railroad from the
1950s and 1960s.
