Here are pages 13 and 14 of a 22-page booklet published by the Pennsylvania Railroad entitled "Serving You Through Progress In Transportation." It was issued originally in December of 1958. From The Text: "In a recent single year, 260 new industrial plants, representing 220,000 carloads of freight business annually, were located along the Pennsylvania Railroad. In the next 10 years, intercity freight shipments are expected to increase about 40 percent as production keeps pace with a growing population." |
