LOL
This is a subject that confounds me ... my historical friends, who will refer to,
say, a section of railroad as the "BN Main", when in fact, it was built 90 years
before the BN existed, by the NP, which in itself is a strong relevant part of the
actual discussion ... like calling that 1886 depot in Dayton, Wa. a "BN depot".
So many of these early roads had strong character DNA, such as depot styles,
the way locomotives were equipped and looked, etc. How both the DSP&P and
CC evolved this way, through buyouts, etc. is fascinating unto itself.
