Modern Culture
The design of the S1 has proved to be very popular:
- The S1 appears in the Sandman comic series, book IX.
- The S1 is was also represented in a (c)1939 painting by railroad artist Grif Teller that appeared in the Pennsylvania Railroad's picture calendar.
- A limited HO Scale brass model version of the PRR S1 was produced by Gem Models during the 1960s to the 1970s. These models are now very rare, although they could be found on eBay from time to time. Not much information exists about them.
- In the PC game Gadget: Invention, Travel, & Adventure, one of the trains the player travels on is pulled by an S1 modeled locomotive.
- In the anime series, the Galaxy Railways, the engine for Vega Platoon, Iron Burger, is loosely based on the S1

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or culture:
“The course of modern learning leads from humanism via nationalism to bestiality.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“The first time many women hold their tiny babies, they are apt to feel as clumsy and incompetent as any man. The difference is that our culture tells them they’re not supposed to feel that way. Our culture assumes that they will quickly learn how to be a mother, and that assumption rubs off on most women—so they learn.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
