Dear NYC and PRR Fans:
Having read with amusement the good-natured banter on this list concerning
the never-ending NYC vs PRR debate, I would now like to offer irrefutable
proof that NYC is the victor and the PRR is the vanquished.
As most of you know, I railroad for a living. I work a switch job
primarily, and in so doing I see an awful lot of railroad cars travel in/out
of our yard and over our system to our various connections.
Today, having just made a joint, I was sitting in the cab of the Alco and
looking about. Beside me is a long track full of cars that serves one of our
drilling sand customers. Right beside my engine sat a covered hopper car
that caught my attention. Believe it or not, its reporting marks were
"NYC". Yup, "NYC". And this car is not an isolated oddity. Recently I
have noticed NYC coil steel cars, boxcars, along with covered hoppers. I
NEVER see ANY cars with "PRR" reporting marks.
SOOOO...
It appears that SOMEWHERE... on someone's accounting sheet and in the paper
world, the NYC still exists!
There you have it: The NYC survived and therefore displaced the PRR. It
must be the superior railroad.
:-)
(That ought to get'em started!!)
