About 20 yeras ago Conrail wanted to re-name all the local raillines. They were named after the main towns they served, for instance - I would always take the Marcus Hook/Wilmington lines when i worked in Pahila in the early 80's....
The bean counters were determined to "update the lines" even though everyone knew where they were going and when they had to be at the station to "catch the train"...
They named them "R" for regional Railline and a number - totally different from the town names....
Now - this weekend - - they are
taking away the "R" Designations (R1, R2, R3...etc) and guess what they are doing??
In a Frenzy of a major grand Decision - they are re"Naming" the rail lines.... Back to the original names..
Oh How i LOVE Progress on the Rails!!!
