[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Murphy Siding [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by ValleyX [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Murphy Siding that the railroad simply *bought* the other roads. Now, the info I found for today's(Jan. 1st) today in railroad history thread makes it sound as if Southern merged N&W. Was this so? I had always thought N&W was the dominate road? After all, it's not the "Southern & Norfolk".[;)] Thanks [/quote] For clarification, that was Norfolk Southern, what we would now call a regional carrier, that operated south out of Norfolk, VA, into the Carolinas. The merger between the N&W and the Southern happened on June 1, 1982, and they took the old name, after considering several others. I've seen a list and don't remember any of them but some of them didn't sound much like railroad names. [/quote] You mean something goofy, like: NSX ?[;)] [/quote]WASH YOUR MOUTH OUT[B)][;)][(-D]
