It honors Mr. Samuel Rea (21 September 1855-24 March 1929) who was born in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, and who served as the Pennsy's ninth president from 1913 to 1925. The world's largest railroad car building and repair facility ~ namely, the PRR's Samuel Rea Shop in Hollidaysburg ~ was named in his honor.
