PENN CENTRAL POST EMPLOYEE NEWSLETTERS:
We have accumulated and uploaded most of the PC Posts. Published in folded newspaper format with a page size of 11 x 17, we have made the local decision to carefully slice each page horizontally. You will find the content and readability nearly unaffected. Most of the content is fluffy PR stuff, but there are some gems about new equipment, routes, and customers and we are doing our best to provide the highlights of each issue.
