Give your desk or bedside table a piece of Pennsylvania Railroad history. Pennsy grew from its 1846 Philadelphia charter into a railroad network that connected Philadelphia and Pittsburgh with New York, Washington, Chicago, and other major cities. This foldable mobile phone display stand celebrates that far-reaching PRR story in a compact daily-use accessory. It makes a thoughtful pick for railfans, office desks, model railroad rooms, and collectors of historic American brands.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company, known by its PRR reporting mark and the nickname Pennsy, was established in 1846 and headquartered in Philadelphia. It was chartered to build between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh, and a continuous Philadelphia-to-Pittsburgh rail route followed in 1852; its own line from Harrisburg to Pittsburgh was completed in 1854. The company bought Pennsylvania’s Main Line of Public Works in 1857 and expanded through stock purchases, leases, and control of other lines. Its Main Line connected Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, while later routes reached New York City, Washington, Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis, and Buffalo. By 1882, PRR was the world’s largest railroad by traffic and revenue, as well as the largest transportation enterprise and corporation. The railroad merged with longtime rival New York Central on February 1, 1968, becoming Penn Central Transportation Company. Penn Central rail assets passed to Conrail on April 1, 1976. Conrail was divided in 1999 between Norfolk Southern and CSX Transportation; Norfolk Southern received most remaining former PRR trackage. Amtrak received electrified Main Line trackage east of Harrisburg.
