We're turning our attentions westward today for this ca. 1955 poster from the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.

This item is part of Hagley Library's collection of Pennsylvania Railroad Posters, ca. 1950-1969 (Accession 1995.246), a small collection of travel posters featuring some of the many destinations reachable by the Pennsylvania Railroad.

Incorporated in 1846, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company became the largest railroad in the United States in terms of corporate assets and traffic from the last quarter of the nineteenth century through the mid-twentieth century.
