How the Pennsy Evolved.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago

He does an excellent job in covering the aspects of the various companies that were merged into the Pennsylvania Railroad as it acquired them while building its system which truly was SERVING THE NATION right up to its final years.
