History:
Introduced in 1912, the Broadway Limited
offered superb luxury and service between Chicago
and the heart of New York City. Flagship of the
Pennsylvania Railroad's passenger service, it
quickly developed a fierce and loyal following.
Always accorded the finest, the train was
streamlined in 1938, and refitted in 1949. Just 10
years later, the Broadway became America's last
all-Pullman streamliner following archrival New
York Central's merger of the 20th Century Limited
with the combined Pacemaker/Commodore Vanderbilt.
Pennsy continued the grand traditions of the
Broadway and there was a brief increase in revenue.
But as the Pennsylvania faced mounting financial
problems, even its best train was expendable, and
the Broadway made its last run on December 13,
1967. The train soldiered on briefly for Penn
Central until 1971 when Amtrak took over, running
its own version of the Broadway through September
1995.
The Broadway's 50th birthday was a bright spot for
Pennsy despite declining ridership and revenues.
Big changes were on the horizon that would soon
impact Pennsy's flagship streamliner. - Courtesy
