The following books have proven useful in working on this site:
| Author | Title | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Alvin F. Staufer | Pennsy Power | Good reference for detailing steam and especially electric locomotives. |
| Alvin F. Staufer | Pennsy Power II | Useful for doing the electric MU cars and diesel locomotives |
| John Teichmoeller | Pennsylvania Railroad Steel Open Hopper Cars | This is why I have done pretty much every open hopper and yet hardly any other freightcars ... |
| Ian S. Fischer | PRR Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment, Volume 2 | For adding finishing touches to the hoppers, for getting the cabin paint schemes, and for some of the passenger cars. |
| Robert A. Liljestrand & David R. Sweetland |
Passenger Equipment of the Pennsylvania Railroad Volume 1: Coaches | This is why the profusion of P70 coaches. |
| E.T. Harley | Pennsy Q Class: Classic Power 5 | As luck would have it, I acquired this book just after I'd drawn the Q2. It has inspired me to go back someday and do a better job of it, and it's also helped me with my in-process Q1. |
| Robert J. Yanosey | Pennsy Diesel Years 2 | For the Centipedes, and for inspiring me to do more PRR diesels in future. |
| Edwin P. Alexander | American Locomotives 1900-1950 | For diagrams of the S1, S2, N1s, J1, H6sb, HC1s. |
| Linn H. Westcott (ed.) | Model Railroader Cyclopedia - Volume 1: Steam Locomotives | For scale diagrams of the A3, B6sb, F3, H9s, D16sb, E6s, G5s, I1s, K4s, L1s, M1a, and T1. |
| Don Wood | I Remember Pennsy | For many more photos of M1s and K4s. |
If I don't list a work here, it's probably because I don't own a copy, rather than because it isn't any good!
The following websites have also proven useful:
| Site | Comments |
|---|---|
| Keystone Crossings | Jerry Britton's immense site has helped a lot, so it's hard to list everything, but one of the most impressive parts is "24 Hours at Harrisburg", which has enabled me to get the consists of trains right (or at least strive for it). |
| Rob's PRR Page | Rob Schoenberg's large collection of PRR diagrams has proven invaluable, as has his PRR Freight Roster. |
| North East Rails | Clint Chamberlin has put together a very useful collection of PRR photographs, especially of steam and electric locomotives, which I've referred to often. |
