By:Thomas C. Ayers
Dates:6/17/1977 - 6/17/1977
Album Info:Here is a article (in three frames) by Mr. George Vecsey entitled "Elegant, Unhurried, Broadway Limited Enters Its 76th Year." It was published originally in the 17 June 1977 issue of the "New York Times," pages B1 and B3. "They seem to know that before jet planes arrived, the Broadway Limited was the 'top of the line' of the old Pennsylvania Railroad. It supplied barbers and maids and secretaries and valets to the executives and movie stars who were its regular passengers. And the Limited linked Pennsylvania Station in New York and Union Station in Chicago ~ 904 miles ~ in 20 hours on its first run 75 years ago."
