Philadelphia and Erie Railroad

Philadelphia and Erie Railroad

The Philadelphia and Erie Railroad was originally called the Sunbury and Erie Railroad. The name was changed in 1861 by the state of Pennsylvania to encourage its completion from Sunbury, Pennsylvania to Erie, Pennsylvania, which was finished in 1864. Never a prosperous line, it was shortly after leased by the Pennsylvania Railroad.
