Um, for the record, it's SPF's "Slobbering Pennsy Freaks." I should know; I R one.

| Maybe it's 'SFPF' Although I personally haven't reached the slobbering part yet, I still am a bit of a Pennsy 'foamer' myself. Does having books and video count and well as owning a sound equipped GG1? |

My most abject apologies, gentlemen...a momentary and unfortunate lapse in proper acronym deployment.
You say "Toe-may-toe, and I say To-mah-toe"....one man's foaming is another man's slobbering, right????

Foaming might suggest a disease, ie rabies
Slobbering just suggests total enthrallment, complete immersion.
IE I was a slobbering foole when my neighbors wife mowed her lawn in a string bikini ....

Rick,
We have a cure for that SPF, FPF or SFPF, just move the calendar up beyond 4/1/1968 and all will be solved. 
Thats what I was thinking exactly!

| I just caught up on this thread and from what I can tell you are all off base. The real crime is not Pennsy - Penn Central but how a sleek, efficient beautiful railroad like the New York Central was dragged into the mud by it's forced association with a railroad that didn't have the common sense to build it's main line along water. |

The central weren't afraid of any silly hills in Pennsylvania,
I model the Pennsylvania Division of the NYC that reached deep into Pennsylvania coal country west of Lock Haven.
http://krygier.owu.edu/krygier_html/peale/feldmeier/padiv.jpg
This is where they ran their 2-6-6-2's.
Coal country.
After the new L-1 4-8-2's arrived the mallets went to Southern Ohio-West Virginia to work the NYC coal country that ran though Charleston into the coal fields further south.
I model the Corning NY area, (where I was born), which was the division point between Avis Pa. and Lyons NY. |
