This day in Railroad History
January 27, 1937
The Pennsylvania Railroad started electrification on the main line section from Paoli to Harrisburg; the low-grade freight line from Morrisville through Columbia to Enola Yard in Pennsylvania; the freight line from Perryville to Columbia; and the freight line from Monmouth Junction to South Amboy. In less than a year—on the following January 15—the first passenger train—the Metropolitan—went into operation over the newly electrified line from Philadelphia to Harrisburg. This represented the completion of the electrification project initiated in 1928.

Here is a shot of the crew and restored Southern Pacific GP-9 #5623 on December 29, 1999, before they left the Oakland Terminal Rwy. yards for the last street run in Oakland, CA. I was fortunate enough to be able to ride and video this last run down to the old Nabisco plant at 14th street and
back.
