The Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) was one of the largest and most influential railroad companies in the United States, operating from 1846 until 1968. It played a pivotal role in developing the American railroad industry and expanding transportation networks across the country. Today, vintage Pennsylvania Railroad posters are prized as collectors' items and pieces of Americana.
