March 11, 1854 To reduce on-duty drinking by employees, the Pennsylvania Railroad Road Committee considers ordering a ban on the sale of all liquor and beer on any PRR property and to prohibit stopping trains at any public house where liquor is sold. The order is toned down by amendment to simply prohibiting the sale of liquor on PRR property.
That Pennsy... Now there was a really progressive railroad. Every other railroad wanted ta be like the Pennsylvania! But no other railroad had such high standards. No wonder they became THE Pennsy...
