I think there are more PRR cinders and ashes in the north central region soil than NYC cinders and ashes. At least I remember more PRR smoke than NYC while growing up in Columbus Ohio John Armstrong ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Plank To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, December 24, 2008 9:14 AM Subject: Re: {S-Scale List} Re: NYC vs PRR = NYC

Here in Indiana, the NYC/Big Four's Michigan/Marion Branch went to NS and the NYC/LS&MS Chicago-Elkhart-Toledo mainline is also NS property. It's interesting how many guys on the NYC lists miss that, as they claim ALL former NYC lines went to CSX. Also, in Ohio, the former NYC/T&OC lines south of Columbus (West Virginia Secondary) are also now NS, while the little bit remaining of the NYC/T&OC north of Columbus are now CSX. To be fair to the downtrodden PRR guys <vbg>, I've learned more about the NYC/Toledo & Ohio Central from the PennsyWest group than I have on 3 NYC groups combined, thanks both to a great bunch of guys, and also because of the PRR/NYC(through T&OC subsidiary Zanesville & Western) joint operations of the Zanesville [OH] Terminal.
