Section 13. Pennsylvania Railroad Bridge.
(a) Finding of fact.--The General Assembly finds and declares as follows:
(1) In 1970 HRI Incorporated built a steel multigirder bridge, 192 feet in length, over a section of what was then the Pennsylvania Railroad.
(2) The bridge referred to in paragraph (1) can stand today as a symbol of the great Pennsylvania Railroad, which was the first great business enterprise in America.
(3) The Pennsylvania Railroad, called "the standard railroad of the world," was chartered on April 13, 1846. By 1854 it was a continuous rail route from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh; and, at its pinnacle, the Pennsylvania Railroad service territory extended from Manhattan to St. Louis.
(4) The Pennsylvania Railroad connected our two largest cities while bringing commerce and jobs to wide-ranging parts of this Commonwealth. The hardworking employees of the railroad who contributed so much of their blood, sweat and tears to this Commonwealth deserve appropriate recognition.
(b) Designation authorized.--The bridge designated by the Department of Transportation as Bridge No. 18012004201253, which passes over a section of the Norfolk Southern Railroad in the borough of Renovo, Clinton County, is designated and shall be known as the Pennsylvania Railroad Bridge.
(c) Signs.--Appropriate signs shall be posted and maintained by the Department of Transportation.
