| ed monahan | The Nickel Plate Railroad closed. So did the Penn Central and the NY Central. The B & O was sold to the C & O. That is no longer in existence either.
Bangor & Aroostook folded their tent.
Louisville and Nashville (L&N) is gone. Norfolk and Western is kaput.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe is only a memory.
I am not sure about the Lehigh Valley R R.
Grand Trunk, Illinois Central, and Reading R.Rs are all gone.
This is just for Goro, who thinks a company going under is extremely important to all Prowler owners. And yet, life goes on.
Most of the companies that built stage coaches are no longer in business. |
| 401KAT | Ed..your right..I watch 10 guys in business....all different types....They all have 1 thing in common.....THEY ALL KNOW WHEN TO PUNT....That's why they are all successful ....and why I am also....if it's not working ....fix it or close the doors....Just glad i wasn't in the pager business!!...lol |
| garysss | Never heard of them, until now. I'm surprised they lasted this long and I didn't know it. |
| StingRay | Gary ... am SURE you have seen ladies wearing their shirts .... you just may NOT want to remember  
|
| garysss | I might have Ray, but I don't think I was wondering what BEBE stood for at the time.LOL |

I think it's " Big Eds Big Ego " I could be wrong

| StingRay | I still prefer when they wear shirts that say 'GUESS' there ... can't quite figure out why I get slapped for saying things like: 'oh ... I'd say 34C ... or like 36DD' ... isn;t that what we are SUPPOSED to be guessing?!?

| TucsonJer | I was in the elevator the other day when it stopped on the 5th floor. A beautiful young lady with rather large attributes got in beside me and said "Push one please". Apparently I pushed the wrong one. Good news is that I was able to see a little bit from my right eye this morning so the swelling must be going down. Hehe. Jer |

Great to see you back posting. So how long did it take for all of the bones to heal? |

I am not sure about the Lehigh Valley R R.
Grand Trunk, Illinois Central, and Reading R.Rs are all gone.Those railroads didn't shut down, they were merged into larger systems. As to the Santa Fe, it merged into a system called BNSF, which most people think stands for "Burlington Northern Santa Fe." What it REALLY stands for is "Big New Santa Fe"!

| ed monahan | I am sure SEARS will be purchased by someone, also. The Craftsman brand is worth some serious $.
Amazon is starting to open more brick and mortar stores, go figure! |
