On August 7, 2011, former Pennsylvania Railroad type E8A diesel units No. 5711 and No. 5809 are passing through the borough of Greenville in Mercer County, Pennsylvania on the former Erie Railroad now Norfolk Southern Railway on a rail excursion in this photograph by the author. The Erie and Pittsburgh line of the Pennsylvania Railroad once served Greenville. Kenneth Springirth, with a lifelong interest in rail transportation, has been researching the Pennsylvania Railroad since 1960. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he commuted to Drexel Institute of Technology (now Drexel University) in Philadelphia by trolley car, subway, and sometimes Pennsylvania Railroad commuter train. His father was a trolley car motorman in Philadelphia, and his grandfather was a trolley car motorman in Washington D.C. This book is a photographic essay documenting the Pennsylvania Railroad, which considered itself the standard railroad of the world. Classic scenes of the Pennsylvania Railroad's amazing GG1 electric locomotives operating on the most successful electrification project in the United States are included. This book provides an insight to an extensive railroad system that survives today with the Norfolk Southern Railway owning much of former mainline trackage in Pennsylvania and Amtrak owning the Northeast Corridor plus trackage between Philadelphia and Harrisburg. In addition, there are a variety of regional and shortline railroads that contribute to Remembering the Pennsylvania Railroad.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. It's OK By David M. Williams I'm sure that some people would give just about any book on their favorite railroad 5 stars. Or maybe this author. But as the 2 star review said, it's pretty much just pictures. I was hoping for more text and maps on routes and maybe more on history, but the author has probably covered all that before somewhere. I thought there was a bit too much coverage of post PRR (Penn Central fans would vehemently disagree!). I'm glad that I bought the book but it doesn't over as much as I would have liked to see.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Pennsylvania Railroad By R. Ray Leader This is a great book, well presented and documented. The photos are crisp and relevant to the subject. I highly recommend the book to anyone that is interested in the Pennsylvania Railroad and it's history.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. The way Springirth should be done By Keith L. Johnson Coming from NW Pennsylvania I am a fan of Kenneth Springirth. This book which has the basic format of his many Images of Rails books is a dramatic improvement since it has bigger pages and the pictures are in clear and sharp color. This is the way I wish the Images of Rails books were. As far as content goes it is a bit of a hodgepodge covering places the author has visited through the years particularly near Erie and Philadelphia. There is a nice collection of early views including postcards as well. An additional highlight are reproduced schedules of passenger trains - much easier to read by the way. Overall I was very pleased (note it isn't much more expensive either than the IOR books) and hope that Springirth will continue publishing this way and just maybe be able to reissue some of his earlier titles particularly Bessemer and Lake Erie RR in this format.
