HISTORY

The 1960s found the Broadway enjoying its status as the finest train in the country, and it was actually making money. Colorful brochures extolled its many creature comforts and conveniences: there were two cozy lounge cars where one could relax with a favorite beverage as the scenery rolled past, enjoy a good night's sleep in one of six different types of sleeping car accommodations, or linger over a superb meal served in the finest Pennsylvania Railroad tradition.

In large part, it was this extra attention to detail and efforts to maintain the long-standing traditions of service that made the Broadway one of the more profitable trains on the Pennsylvania in this era. For many a hurried jetsetter and overworked executive, the train was truly their refuge - $5.95 still bought a complete made-to-order prime rib dinner served on fine china instead of a mysterious frozen entree on a plastic tray. The only turbulence one was likely to encounter was the steady thunder of the wheels as the train raced through the night. In the fall of 1967, the Broadway would actually become the last all-Pullman streamliner, but only for a few weeks. In mid-December, the Broadway assumed the duties and schedule of its running mate the General, which added coaches to the consist for the first time, along with additional head-end cars moving express and storage mail.

In this form, the Broadway entered the Penn Central years and remained a bright spot, running with a mix of equipment painted in Tuscan, Sea Foam Green and stainless steel, until 1971, when Amtrak began running a Broadway Limited of its own.

Today, a new generation of modelers and railfans are rediscovering what made the Broadway great. At least three cars have been restored, including the Mountain View Observation at the Railroader's Memorial Museum, at Altoona, Pennsylvania. A 10-6 sleeper Scioto Rapids and Tower View are at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg. Several K4, GG-1, and E8A locos have been saved around the country, and Pennsylvania #5901, the sole surviving E7, has been cosmetically restored and is displayed at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.
