As I understand it, the PRR was the "Standard Railroad of the World", simply because every other railroad was a "Superior Railroad of the World" and they took one look and wouldn't let PRR into the club!
Exactly!
PRR = standard.
All other railroads = Deluxe.
Hmm how is this not Deluxe or superior?
Maybe because it/they were NOT SUCCESSFUL!
No other railroad invested in high speed passenger service like the Pennsylvania railroad!
So the New York Central, the Union Pacific, and the Santa Fe railroads were all chopped liver?????

NOT SUCCESSFUL?!!! Better check your books... They were used allot longer on the western side of the PRR than most experimental equipment.

Did these railroads EVER invest in high speed experimental passenger steam engines?

BTW - good morning to you sir...
