<center></center>As much as we hate to admit it, PC is forever ingrained in American RR history.To me it represents all that was bad about RRs in the NE US. It was like sticking a Band-Aide on a ruptured artery. I remember watching the NYC trains on the Hudson div. in the Bronx back in the late 60's and seeing 1st hand the slow take over of the solid black covering the few P motors that still carried their lighting stripe livery. Ohhhhh the horror I felt. In sharp contrast, the birth of Conrail was a blessing and showed how,if handled correctly, a RR could be run profitablly. If anyone has noticed, after CR was sold and slit up btw CSX and NS, both RRs started to restencil their power and rolling stock. CSX uses the NYC reporting marks on their cars and NS motive power has PRR stenciled on the cabs. How's that for about a bit of nostolgia? <br />New York Central.......gone but not forgotten. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />.
