PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD _ _ BULLETIN Convenient Transportation Facilities. The Pennsylvania Railroad, by main' lines, branches, subsidiary lines and • connections, covers the Eastern country so completely that the people of almost every community may avail themselves of its facilities. The lines reach the cities, the big towns aHd the little towns, so that whether the impulse to travel be for business, pleasure, or social purposes, it may be satisfactorily carried out, as far as transportation facilities are concerned, by taking a Pennsylvania Railroad train at the nearest point. Through cars are ope/ated over the lines between all important centres of/ population, and an excellent dining car service is available at the usual hours for meals on the through trains. The all-steel equipment of the trains adds greatly to the security and comfort of passengers. ■ The spirit of the holiday season stimulates the wish to travel, aud the facilities of the Pennsylvania Railroad and its connections appeal with equal force to the home-coming young folks and the 'migrating people of maturer years. The comprehensive train service, apart from the local trains well known in each community; covers a wide extent of territory. BETWEEN THE EAST AND THE WEST. There are splendid limited trains between New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Harrisburg, Altoona, Pittsburgh, and points in the West, notably Chicago and St Louis. Included among these arc the ''BROADWAY LIMITED," the 20-hour train between New York and Chicago; the "24-HOUR ST. LOUIS," to St Louis and Chicago; "THE PENNSYLVANIA LIMITED," to Chicago, St. Louis, Cleveland, and Cincinnati; and, the "CHICAGO LIMITED," to Chicago, Cincinnati, and Cleveland. These are all-Pullmau trains and provide the highest grade of service. In addition there are a number of express trains to Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Louisville, Indianapolis, Columbus, Cleveland, Toledo, Detroit, and other important centres of the Middle West, which provide both Pullman and all-steel coach service. Among these are the "Chicago Special," 'Chicago Express," "St. Louis Express," "Western Expres?,"' and the "Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Chicago Express." TO THE SOUTH. Those contemplating a trip South, to the resorts of the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, and the Gulf Coast, will find a number of fine trains between the important terminal cities of the Pennsylvania Railroad; and cars to the more im- ' portant cities of the South, running through from and to New York via Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia. On January 6, 1913, the through Limited Trains between New York and Florida will be placed in sen-ice. COMMERCIAL CENTERS LINKED. An examination of the time tables of the Pennsylvania Railroad will .show that practically all important commercial centres on its lines and connections are linked by through traitjs, through cars, or convenient connections, affording at- ' commodat'ing sen-ice.-.Anyone who wishes to go anywliqre should cousult the nearest Ticket Agent - of the Pennsylvania Railroad. He can give all the information a traveler reqtrires.
