Book excerpt: In the first half of the twentieth century, the Pennsylvania Railroad became one of the largest and most powerful rail lines in the world. The breakup of this railway led to the birth of the extensive variety of tourist railroads that exists today. This updated guide takes an in-depth look at the Keystone State's railroads and includes operation schedules and fares. Train and travel enthusiasts will find themselves deep in the heart of Pennsylvania's flourishing railroad lines in this second edition, which also describes recreational activities and historical sites in each of the state's geographical regions. The Gettysburg battlefield, America's first Amish settlement, and the world's first oil well are just some of the highlights that may be seen from an open-air car, providing memorable rides for tourists of all ages.
