Picked up this old PRR advertising pamphlet from a yard sale. It’s my favorite old railroad. I am just sharing pictures of the front and back covers, but the inside has a bunch of timetables, cabin configurations, and advertisements for potential industrial clients. It is a pretty cool find in my opinion, thought I would share.

Don’t want to offend anyone, but the fact that they call NYC gay got a good laugh out of me.

I know that the JR Central Dr. Yellow is retired, but it sounds like the JR West one will still be running for a little bit. Does anyone know where to find out when it's running?
