PRRT&HS 130 First Class to Our Nations Capital Liberty and Capital Limited

by Frank Wrabel

Beginning in 1925, PRR and B&O stepped up their train amenities to capture luxury service patrons traveling between Washington and Chicago. Their competition soon became a war that lasted 32 years, through the Depression, WWII, and the heady Postwar period. This book captures the story of two railroads' optimism and final resignation to changing market demographics. Author Frank Wrabel tells the story of this glorious fight.
