I want to inform the group on this list that the railroad name in the 
previous post is wrong - the names are interchanged.  In this photo that 
I took some decades ago, note what is obviously the official name of the 
railroad on the ferry dock on the Hudson River (color courtesy of good 
old Ektachrome).  Photos don't lie. Right? The rest of the railroad 
world may continue using the wrong name, but at least our elite group 
will know what is correct.😉
