The first train to roll down the Pennsylvania Railroad's tracks was on Sept. 1, 1849. The next year the firm hired Thomas Alexander Scott as the depot manager for Ducansville, PA. He’d later become the company’s most successful and notorious president. #RailroadHistory #history #PennsylvaniaRailroad

After consolidating control of railroads on the New Jersey side, the #PennsylvaniaRailroad greatly improved both freight & passenger access to NYC by building two single-track rail tunnels under the Hudson. Completed in 1910, they are still in use by Amtrak & NJ Transit today.

Since I've had a bit of free time I've been messing around with train simulator classic.
As many may have noticed i collected PRR ho scale locomotives so mostly all my Train simulator classic dlcs are PRR related.
