Grand Departure

Available, please inquire

Take yourself back to December 1937 at 21st Junction (also known as Alton Jct.) in Chicago.
Imagine standing here in this wintry scene, witnessing the departure of Pennsylvania railroads
flagship passenger train, the Broadway Limited to New York. Steam and smoke thunder from
the #5396, one of Pennsy’s famed K-4 Pacifics, as it leads its train across numerous diamonds
and into the snow filled day.
