Philadelphia Chapter 
Opening Ceremony of  the Pennsylvania Station at Newark, New Jersey 

BETWEEN NEWARK

AND NEW YORK

232 Trains Daily!

.

CIVIC GROWTH goes hand in hand with rail transportation. Courage can found a city; vision can expand it-but only transportation can populate it, feed it and make it commercially important. Thus, the Pennsylvania Railroad is a conspicuous factor in the rise and development of Newark. How great you can estimate from these brief facts ...Between Newark and New York daily the Pennsylvania Railroad operates no fewer than 232 trains! A train in one direction or the other every few minutes! Miles of meadow, rivers, and mountainous cliffs spanned in so brief an interval as 16 minutes! A continuous cycle of swift, smooth service that is twenty-four hours round! No two cities of the size and prestige of Newark and New York are linked by so fast and frequent a railservice. And the magnificent new Pennsylvania Station, with its modern appointments and facilities, will make this service more desirable, more attractive to citizens of both these great cities.
