The Golden Years of the Pennsylvania Railroad Relive the golden years of the Pennsylvania Railroad. In this PRR public relations film, you'll be entertained by a brief look at the origins of the Pennsy. Then you'll swing into the modern era with views of new equipment such as container cars, steel freight cars, and new air brakes. You'll also enjoy seeing new signal operations and rotary dumping methods at both sea and lake ports. A highlight of the film is the sight of Pennsy's T-1 4-4-4-4 duplex-drive steam locomotive being tested on the locomotive test rack. There are also scenes of materials testing, shop operations, even electric power distribution for the Northeast Corridor. A special treat for all Pennsy fans is a tour of New York's Pennsylvania Railroad Station, inside and out. Clear Track Ahead has appeared in earlier video collections, such as Interurban Press' Pennsylvania Collection. Our version is based on an original, high quality print. It's crisp and well transferred, making the images more alive than ever before. If you want to relive the Pennsylvania Railroad of the 1940s, this tape is for you. 27 Minutes Black & White with Narration Packaged in Colorful Cardboard Slipcase Produced by Audio Productions, Inc. 1946; released by Pentrex 1995 |
