The Pennsylvania Railroad

Here is the story of America's greatest transportation system told principally in pictures. Never before has the growth and development of an American railroad been so graphically shown by so large a variety of illustrative material. Some 330 reproductions, drawn from the author's vast collection, show rare prints and photographs of early locomotives, equipment and bridges, old posters, broadsides and tickets, as well as later developments in rolling stock, locomotives, track, stations and all the features of a great railroad. The text traces the various developmental phases in a lucid and informative way, and includes colorful accounts of the outstanding events in the Pennsylvania's history. That history covers one hundred years of continuous service. - Jacket flap.
