@4_Sticks posted:Yup, I understand that but the word 'railroad' is still one word. The FBI, I know I don't have to tell ya, or the CIA etc. All separate words whereas 'Railroad' is only one word, ergo .... no second 'R' necessary. But who am I to say ? I've never been a a stockholder in the company (assuming it traded publicly) or on the BOD or even an exec.
Well, you did ask why it was PRR, and I answered that query. As to why they did that with the name, I have no idea. I suspect it was because PR didn't have the ring they wanted, to the added the extra R.
