Pennsylvania Railroad (Railroad Color History)
Pennsylvania Railroadtraces the history of one of the most powerful, influential railroads in American history--a railroad that Fortune Magazinecalled “a nation unto itself.”  Rail historian Mike Schafer 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.
