Interesting thought. But since the full name continues and as the original railroad forms the base for the company both in physical asset as well as on paper, the answer has to be that it is not a fallen flag.
RIDEWITHMEHENRY is the name for our almost monthly day of riding trains and transit in either the NYCity or Philadelphia areas including all commuter lines, Amtrak, subways, light rail and trolleys, bus and ferries when warranted. No fees, just let us know you want to join the ride and pay your fares. Ask to be on our email list or find us on FB as RIDEWITHMEHENRY (all caps) to get descriptions of each outing.
In late 1980 the NYSW RR. became NYSW RWY. While the colors of the locomotives and the physical plant are still intact, does the name change mean the Susie-Q is considered a fallen flag?
