Yeah well I'm gettin' tired of acronyms, abbreviations and generics <br />for railroad names. I can understand reporting marks on rail cars <br />- sure. But "CSX", "CP Rail", "Conrail", "Rail America", etc. bug me. <br />They don't give any idea at all of where the railroad operates or <br />where its operational center is located. Yeah - the Illinois Central <br />ran a lot of places outside Illinois, but that's where it started and a <br />lot of its trackage ran so it's OK by me. Even "Mid South" was fine <br />because at least it gave you an idea of its location.
