PRR Broadway Limited 50th anniversary Poker Cards

This is the Pennsylvania Railroad advertisement celebrating 50 years of the Broadway limited train service, from New York and Philadelphia to Chicago. Image Copyright © 2000-2022 Stan Feldman. The Broadway Limited was a passenger train operated by the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) between New York City and Chicago. It operated from 1912 to 1995. It was the Pennsylvania's premier train, competing directly with the New York Central Railroad's 20th Century Limited. The Broadway Limited continued operating after the formation of Penn Central (PC) in February 1968, one of the few long-distance trains to do so. PC conveyed the train to Amtrak in 1971, who operated it until 1995. The train's name referred not to Broadway in Manhattan, but rather to the "broad way" of PRR's four-track right-of-way along the majority of its route.
