    Dear Moderators,
    The List of reporting marks used contains an error:

    NW - Norfolk and Western (including NKP, WLE, PMcKY, Virginian etc.)

    The PMcKY or PMcK&Y or PMKY was the PITTSBURGH, MCKEESPORT & YOUGHIOGHENY railroad which became the Youghiogheny division of the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad. The nickname of the PMcK&Y was the P-Mickey and it was not part of the N&W. The PMcK&Y should be included in the NYC (New York Central) header.

    The P&WV was the Pittsburgh & West Virginia railway and was leased by the N&W for 999 years after the N&W purchased the NKP in 1964.


    Kind Regards,
    Rich S.

    P.S. I tried using the contact link above and have not yet received a reply?

    The site owner has a work and family schedule which weighs far more than a ton. When he gets free minutes, he tries to handle maintenance tasks in a triage type fashion.
