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.

It opened my awareness to the PRR's greatness.

A small yet thorough book concerning the history fo the PRR from start to finish. Well written and very informative.

Great book.

I purchased this book as a gift to myself and it is super. Pictures are very nice and the reading is easy to deal with.
Even my 5 year old loves it.
If you are into trains, this book is worth the money.

Colorful Review

Excellent book, great resource for the train lover. Lots and lots of high-quality photos, good text. Highly recommend.

A Fine Introduction

This is a very fine, concise introduction to the "standard railroad of the world." For a readable, yet remarkably thorough introduction to the Pennsy, this is the book to read.
