PRRT&HS Archivist Emeritus Robert L. Johnson has meticulously researched PRR cabin cars, providing an in-depth look at PRR cabin car development from the earliest beginnings in 1860. Their use in revenue freight, passenger express, and work equipment service are all explained. The book concludes with their gradual disappearance during the Penn-Central and Conrail years.

Bill Neale, Bruce Smith, Doug Nelson and Tim Garner have contributed new articles valuable for anyone modeling the PRR. Plus Product news from Steve Hoxie.

Once again some society members have volunteered to host a "Virtual" meeting on May 15th, with 6 presentations focused on the PRR. Click here for more details.

Dues to Covid-19, we have regretfully decided to cancel our 2021 annual meeting. A letter from President Staffieri explains the situation, and our new plans.

It took longer than we hoped, but we finally have the shipping process working on our new on-line store ("storefront" under the PRRTHS menu) Shipments began on February 16th, and we should have the backlog shipped by March 5th.

Over the next month we will be adding back issues of the Keystone to the new store.

The society has published a new book about the PRR in Altoona, the east slope, and the Petersburg and New Portage branches.
It will be available in our new e-Store January 31st and will begin shipping on February 9th.

Our new e-Store will begin operations on January 31st. The store can be accessed by clicking "Storefront" within the PRRTHS menu selection. We will quickly add all of our available books to the new store. Adding back issues of the Keystone may take most of February - there are a lot of them.

PRRT&HS members will receive member discounts on all books.

Also - changes in Credit card security rules have forced us to only accept credit cards on line. We will no longer be able to accept credit cards by mail or phone.

Fortunately our new storefront uses the latest security features, and will provide quick confirmation of payment.
