???????????????????????????  Soon, people will start talking, have you noticed what an apologist Snippy has turned into.  Spends all his time apologizing for things he has no control over, it's pathetic, why, I think he's losing it.  Yeah, that's it.

From everything I've ever heard, the New York Central was a fine road to work for but the PRR, a little less so.

And then came Conrail. A US Gov't. 'plan' ta rescue PC, and all the other Northeast roads which depended upon PC for interchange. Uke's home road was lumped in...and nothing exists of that one today.

Well not exactly true. There's Newark, Hoboken, and Elizabeth. And portions of the old main inta the Lehigh Valley, and Reading, PA areas.

Conrail became successful. So much so that CSX and NS lusted for her...and divvied CR inta two pieces. The rest is history. All the names of independent, competitive railroads are gone. A few were chopped up for scrap. Some became 'short-lines.'

But the biggies live on. Thank you Uncle Samuel. Somebody owes ya!

We have a few old Milwaukee Road types still working on the north end. It was a great road to work for but the upper management was a bunch of morans.
