Give your wall a strong piece of railroad history with this Pennsylvania Railroad metal sign. PRR, better known as Pennsy, became the world’s largest railroad by traffic and revenue in 1882 and carried its keystone identity across a network reaching Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New York, Washington, Chicago, and more. Created for rail fans, collectors, garages, offices, and train rooms, it honors the Main Line, the Broadway Limited era, and a legacy that continued through Penn Central, Conrail, Amtrak, Norfolk Southern, and CSX.
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.
