Dates:6/1/1952 - 2/1/1968
Album Info:Here are several photos that were published originally in "Pennsy" magazine, the Pennsylvania Railroad's in-house organ for its employees and retirees. At first, it was a glossy, large-format production issued monthly. In later years, the glossy, large format was retained ~ but it was issued just six times a year. And rather much like the merger of the Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads, the once-monthly "Pennsy" magazine lost both its gloss and its size during its final years of production. First Issue: June 1st, 1952. Last Issue: February 1st, 1968. Also included is one original PRR employee photo from 1923.
