Today, as King of Prussia celebrates its 300th year of existence, there is a strong movement to bring back passenger rail service to King of Prussia in order to serve the business and residential communities. "The Railroads Of King of Prussia, PA: The Past Leads To The Future" looks at the rich 175 year history of the railroads in King of Prussia. In doing so the author makes the determination that the present day demand for renewed passenger rail service is a microcosm of King of Prussia as it has traveled the path from a rural township to a business dominated suburb of Philadelphia.
