He joined the PRR in 1871, when the railroad had hardly outgrown its 1846 charter to build from Harrisburg to Pittsburgh, and helped it grow to a 12,000-mile (19,000 km) system with access to Manhattan, upstate New York, and New England." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Rea A similar photo ran in The Bridgeport times and evening farmer.
