Pennsylvania Train Stations - Restored and Revitalized On Sale Today


Pittsburgh, PA - November 13, 2007 - Inecom Entertainment Company, a producer and distributor of independent films, has released Pennsylvania Train Stations - Restored and Revitalized. The DVD is available today in stores and through online retailers and rental services such as Amazon.

There is something simply mystical about train stations. A walk through the corridors of one of these magnificent buildings is like stepping back in time.

In the early 1900s, travelers could go anywhere by train. America's train stations provided a doorway to the world, becoming the heart of each community. They were part of everyday life serving as a backdrop for many mileposts in our country's history. From these stations, loved ones tearfully said goodbye as soldiers departed for two World Wars and cheered these heroes on their return. Presidential candidates criss-crossed the country bringing their message to the people from each station's platform.

Pennsylvania Train Stations - Restored and Revitalized takes viewers on an unconventional journey to uncover the richness of these beautiful memorials to railroading and meet the people who saved them. Produced by Penn State Public Broadcasting, this film captures the charm and nostalgic beauty of stations brought back to life in exciting and unusual ways.

The film appeals to railway fans worldwide, including former railroaders, model train collectors and those who enjoy travel. In addition, those who perform home renovations and re-purposing of public areas will find the subject of restoring these historic stations of interest. Makes a great holiday gift!
