The Pennsylvania Railroad for the Railway 32 Screensaver

For the last couple of years, I've been producing a screensaver module for the Railway 32 screensaver, based on the Pennsylvania Railroad of the north-eastern United States.

NEW! The Baldwin model DR6-4-20 "Passenger Shark", PRR class BP20, in five different paint schemes is the most recent arrival on the PRR Diesel page.

To be notified when there is news on the PRR for Railway 32 project, join the Railway 32 USA Yahoo group. This group is only for discussing Railway 32 American trains and modules; general Railway 32 stuff should remain on the Railway 32 group.

Also see my ongoing production of a module for the Eritrean Railway, a 950mm gauge railway using WWI era Italian steam locomotives, 1930s Fiat railcars and 1950s diesel locomotives that still operates.

NEW! The Manitou and Pike's Peak Railway for Railway32!

What is Railway 32?

More about the Railway 32 screensaver and why it's worth it.

Why the Pennsylvania Railroad?

My personal take on why I'm interested in the PRR and thus why I want to work on this.

Pennsy Steam Locomotives

The PRR steam locomotive selection currently available.

Pennsy Electric Locomotives

The PRR was the largest electrified road in the USA.

Pennsy Diesel Locomotives

Late to dieselize, the PRR acquired the largest fleet of diesels of any railroad in the United States, and in a wide assortment of types.

Pennsy Self-Propelled Units

Self propelled trains were used on electrified suburban routes.

Pennsy Passenger Cars

A small proportion of the Pennsy's passenger fleet has been done - much more remains to be drawn.

Pennsy Freight Cars

With the sole exception of open hopper cars, which are pretty much complete, this is very threadbare. Fortunately, because of freight car interchange with other roads, I can run freightcars drawn by other Railway32 artist contributors.

Pennsy Cabins

'Cabin Car' was the PRR's name for what most other railroads called a caboose. PRR cabins had a distinctive style.
