Pennsylvania Railroad, Season's Best Way To Travel Pedestal Sign

tThe Pennsylvania Railroad is the season's best way to travel. By 1882, the Pennsylvania Railroad had become the largest railroad (by traffic and revenue), the largest transportation enterprise, and the largest corporation in the world. Its budget was second only to the U.S. government.[1] The corporation still holds the record for the longest continuous dividend history: it paid out annual dividends to shareholders for more than 100 consecutive years. The Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) was the standard railroad of America Over the years, it acquired, merged with or owned part of at least 800 other rail lines and companies.] At the end of 1926, it operated 11,640.66 miles (18,733.83 kilometers) of rail line;[notes 1][4] in the 1920s, it carried nearly three times the traffic as other railroads of comparable length, such as the Union Pacific and Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroads. Its only formidable rival was the New York Central (NYC), which carried around three-quarters of the Pennsy's ton-miles.
