In reply to the discussion: The World's Longest Electrified Railroad [View all]MyOwnPeace
(16,925 posts)3. Great stuff!
Being a "semi-serious" rail fan, I don't have the depth and knowledge that so many do (apparently, you're one of them!), but I truly appreciate the history of the railroads and how they helped America to grow. As a PRR fan (live in western PA) I grew up watching the end of the "Standard Railroad of the World" and as a kid loved the Lionel GG1, especially because it was a PRR product.
All of this certainly makes wonder "what could have been.."
Thanks!
