Not to be confused with PRR - the now defunct Pennsylvania Rail Road, which once was the largest grossing company in America and collected more in a year than the government did in Federal taxes (IIRC, I may be confusing some facts with New York Central).
- lioeters 4y ago> By 1882, the Pennsylvania Railroad had become the largest railroad (by traffic and revenue), the largest transportation enterprise, and the largest corporation in the world. Its budget was second only to the U.S. government. Now I understand why Pennsylvania Railroad is in the game Monopoly. I also see that it's always been an American thing to grow huge companies that are bigger than many countries.
