A history of the Pennsylvania Railroad and its predecessor companies in Indiana. Few corporate institutions had such widespread impact upon Indiana's people or their way of life—the "Pennsy" once operated onefourth of the state's rail mileage. Highlights of its story include coverage of its famous passenger trains, its impact upon the state's economy, the railroad's contributions to Allied victory in World War II, and the postwar decline which led to its merger into Penn Central. Illustrations recreate images of its speedy passenger trains and heavytonnage freights, as well as advertising and other promotional materials dating back to the 1840s.
