ValleyX Why were you surprised to find the PRR Sandusky Line folks preferred the N&W after the merger? For the first time in many of their careers, they had good track to run good engines on, and supervision that cared how they did their jobs. I was gone to the former Wabash by 1966. I'm not surprised that the NKP folks didn't like the N&W, but by then it wasn't N&W running it. The former Wabash president, Herman H. Pevler, became president of the N&W after the merger by a prior arrange ment, and the Wabash people saw to it that the NKP folks didn't do very well. One NKP superintendent, George Crews, survived; he wound up at Moberly, Mo. Another NKP operating man, Vernon Coe, wound up at the Kansas City Terminal RR, I believe. All the others took the gas pipe. Pevler was an empty suit who'd started out on the PRR and gone to the Wabash from there. Old Timer
