Why does the LIRR use the form Rail Road instead of Railroad? The PRR had RR in its name but was still a Railroad. Any other companies that are Rail Roads?
Rail Road as two words goes back to the original charter. The Indiana Rail Road also uses that form, I believe that it is done to differentiate it from the Indiana Railroad, which was an interurban that was finally abandoned in 1941.
