  • Vol. 18 July 2010 No. 7
    Vol. 18 July 2010 No. 7 Dale Diacont has the program for the July, 2010, meeting . In his own words: My presentation for the Blue Ridge Chapter, NRHS, at the July meeting is entitled "Winter along the Wasatch - 2010." Robert Kaplan and I flew to Salt Lake City on February 3, 2010, for the Nevada Northern winter charter that weekend. We spent the next six days on Soldier Summit, Salt Lake City, Echo Canyon and Ogden, UT. My presentation will reflect our time in a very frigid Utah along with some timetable excerpts and maps for the education of our members that may not be familiar with the territory. Believe me, it was my first trip to Utah as a destination and not an enroute location -- and it certainly was a learning experience!! There's lots of stuff to see and do out there in the shadows of the snow- covered Wasatch. Sincerely hope to see you there.

Is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo? Track twenty-nine Harry Warren 1941 Ever since Glen Miller and his Orchestra popularized the “Chattanooga Choo Choo” back in 1941 in “Sun Valley Serenade,” there has been a certain mystique that has become associ- ated with the City of Chattanooga, Terminal Station, and the entire railroad system in the area. The song was written by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren while traveling on the South- ern Railway’s “Birmingham Special” train. The song tells the story of traveling from New York City to Chattanooga by train. While that is not possible today, you will have the oppor- tunity to catch the spirit and enthusiasm of Chattanooga during the National Railway Histori- cal Society’s 2007 Convention in Chattanooga.

  • The Pennsylvania Railroad's War Memorial
    75TH ANNIVERSARY 1935-2010 VOLUME 41 NUMBER 8 AUGUST 2010 THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD’S WAR MEMORIAL BY ED M AYOVER The Pennsylvania Railroad built one of the most magnificent edifices in the City of Philadelphia in the early years of the Great Depression: Pennsylvania Station - 30th Street. Those familiar with this structure probably take many of its elements for granted; a common occurrence in today’s harried times. For just a moment, I would like to take you back to the early 1950s when the country was returning to normalcy after World War II, but was wary of a place called “Korea” in the Far East. On August 10, 1952, General of the Army Omar Bradley (1893-1981), chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, delivered the dedication speech for a magnificent Memorial located in the main waiting room of the station. The Angel of Resurrection, as it is known, was created in 1950 by renowned sculptor Capt. Walker Kirtland Hancock (1901-1998). The statue was unveiled by Army Sergeant Robert E. Laws, a PRR Altoona Shops sheet metal worker who had won the Congressional Medal of Honor during hand-to- hand combat in the Philippines in 1945. The Angel of Resurrection During World War II, 54,035 of the PRR's 150,000 employees left to serve in the armed forces - of these, 1,307 gave their lives for their country. This large bronze statue, depicting the Archangel of Resurrection Michael lifting a fallen soldier's body out of the flames of war, rises on the east side of the main waiting area of 30th Street Station as a Memorial to those employees who perished in military service during World War II.
