    1935 - 2017 VOLUME48NUMBER12 DISTRICT 2 - CHAPTER WEBSITE: WWW.NRHS1.ORG DECEMBER 2017 MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE LANCASTER CHAPTER, INC. N.R.H.S. Lancaster Dispatcher Page 2 December 2017 Holiday Travel THE MUTUAL MAGAZINE - FEBRUARY, 1941 With holiday travel at the highest peak in many years, officers of the Pennsylvania Railroad estimated that during the period from December 13 to December 24, inclusive, the movement over all divisions of the system totalled approximately 2,500,000 passengers, an increase of nearly 20% above 1939. Of this number 2,000,000 rode in coaches and 500,000 in Pullman sleeping and parlor cars. The period covered embraced practically all of the Christmas trek “back home” for family reunions and the heavy travel to Florida, as well as soldiers visiting their people on furloughs from the various encampments throughout the country. In handling this Christmas traffic, 1,314 extra sections and special trains were operated, in addition to many extra cars on regularly scheduled trains. The heaviest day was December 20, when 202 extra sections were required. There were 1,621 extra runs of Pullman cars, including 1,230 sleeping and 391 parlor car movements. To accommodate the tremendous demand for reservations to Florida, 12 extra coach trains, handling more than 4,000 passengers, were operated on PRR WARTIME HOLIDAY POSTER - 1942 four days from New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, via the Washington COLLECTION OF THE EDITOR gateway, to leading Florida points. These were in addition to the regular daily luxury coach trains - the Silver Meteor, the Champion and the Vacationer - as well as extremely heavy Pullman travel.
