This historic photo from the fallen flag United States railroad Penn Central, comes to Eddie's Railfan Page today from My links page Fallen Flags.Org to the right of Your computer screen.

The Penn Central Railroad existed from 1968 until the United States Goverment creation of Conrail in 1976. The Penn Central was the creation of the 1968 merger of the New York Central and the Pennyslvania railroad. The New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad joined Penn Central in 1969. The Penn Central declared bankruptcy as early as 1970, and lived on borrowed time and borrowed funds until Conrail was created and took over their operations in 1976.

In the early days of the Penn Central merger, some locomotives wore this unique red and white combination of letters in the PC logo. This photo was taken in the city of Boston Massachusettes at some point possibly during the late 1960's. The Penn Central PC logo was eventually standardized with two white letters.
