Replica of a Lackawanna D L & W Phoebe Snow Rail Car
In the 1900's Phoebe Snow was the advertising mascot of the Lackawanna Railroad advertisement campaign by the Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western Railroad company called The Road of Anthracite which emphasized the use of clean-burning anthracite coal over its competitors. Anthracite Coal, the richest coal in the world, was mined in the northeast regions of PA. Phoebe Snow was often played by a popular actress to illustrate the clean journey provided by Lackawanna trains.
