I'm just enjoying another part of growing old,., being a "grumpy old man"....;-) <br /> <br />I SHALL NOT BE DENIED!! <br /> <br />back to the original intent of this thread,...........1956 seems to be a rather indicative "point of no return" for the railroads,...sure things started to taper a bit sooner,.but as for when the bottom dropped out,...'56 starts the interstates, '58 was a sizeable recession, through the early '60's major railroads were in severe hurt, and by the late 60's even the merger to end all mergers couldn't save even the mighty pennsey...... <br /> <br />I think '56 was when the hill got ''steep"
