| Album Info: | Here are the front cover and 36 plates that constitute the "Centennial Album of Pennsylvania R.R. Photos and Prints." They were published in the April 1946 issue of "Railroad" magazine, pages 10-45.
"On April 13th, 1846, the Pennsylvania Railroad was chartered to construct an all-rail line from Harrisburg to Pittsburgh, superseding the state-owned Pennsylvania Canal & Allegheny Portage Railroad. Out of that $13,500,000 beginning has grown a vast, three-billion-dollar enterprise. For a glimpse into the Keystone System's past, 'Railroad Magazine' brings you 38 old-time photos and prints from the collections of Edwin P. Alexander and the Railroadians of America."
