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 modern woman is the curse of the universe. A disaster, that’s what. She thinks that before her arrival on the scene no woman ever did anything worthwhile before, no woman was ever liberated until her time, no woman really ever amounted to anything.”
—Adela Rogers St. Johns (1894–1988)
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
