Samuel Rea

1905}} Samuel Rea (September 21, 1855 – March 24, 1929) was an American engineer and the ninth president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, serving from 1913 to 1925. He joined the PRR in 1871, when the railroad had hardly outgrown its 1846 charter to build from Harrisburg to Pittsburgh, and helped it grow to a 12,000-mile (19,000 km) system with access to Manhattan, upstate New York, and New England.

Rea was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1913, awarded the Franklin Medal in 1926, and was elected as an honorary member of the Institution of Civil Engineers in 1928. Provided by Wikipedia
