Pennsylvania Railroad 1960s The General
Rising through the ranks, in the 1960s The General quickly became one of the most popular members of Pennsylvania Railroad’s Blue Ribbon Fleet! Racing between Chicago and New York (with connections to Washington DC), this hard-working streamliner offered a lower-priced option to the flagship Broadway Limited and archrival New York Central’s 20th Century Limited. With its mix of head-end traffic, comfortable coaches and deluxe sleepers, this hard-working streamliner replica is the perfect addition to your operations or collection.
Locomotives
Given the sheer size and scope of its passenger service, the Pennsylvania operated one of the most diverse fleets of diesels in America. Building on its early success with EMD, Pennsy placed its first order for then-new EMD E8 (Class EP-22) in the spring of 1950. In time, these 74 A units (no B units were purchased) would become the biggest class of passenger power on the railroad, leading every important train in the Blue Ribbon Fleet through their long careers.
