Gary, I pronounce Worcester "WOO-ster" like boogie. Andre, I have always said "WASH-i-ta". Are those correct?
Railroaders on the D&RGW used a long I in Rio Grande: RY-oh-Grand. Never pronounce the silent e in Grande. Here are a few other local pronunciations for railroad locations:
Dalies, NM = Dal-EEZ Waynoka, OK = Wye-NO-kuh or One-OH-kuh Gallup, NM = Gallop (like a horse's gait)
