In the first half of the twentieth century, the Pennsylvania Railroad became as large and powerful as any railway line in the world. The break-up of this important railway gave birth to the expansive variety of tourist railroads that exist today. This updated second edition takes train and travel enthusiasts deep into the heart of the Keystone State's many flourishing railroad lines and includes operation schedules and fares. This comprehensive guide offers many travelling options, including lists of recreational possibilities and exciting nearby destinations. Climb aboard and visit many of Pennsylvania's historic sites, including the world's steepest incline, the world's first Amish settlement, and the tranquil Allegheny National Forest. The guide divides Pennsylvania into four geographical regions, allowing the reader easy access to important travel information. Suggested rail stops include some of America's finest and most interesting cities, including Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Altoona. Tourists may wish to visit some of Pennsylvania's railroad museums, including the Rockhill Trolley Museum and the National Toy Train Museum.
