not the best way of doing something
To exclude someone based on rumors or urban legends is the wrong way to run a railroad.
A phrase often said after a friend or loved one has said something so incredibly so atrocious you would feel better off just not being there.
Often used in place of phrases like "Shut the fuck up" "That was the dumbest thing I've ever heard" and "You are a disappointment."
Beta: "That's pretty poggers!"
Schligma: "I'm going to drive a railroad spike through my skull."
A guy who apparently built all the railroads in the USA, and tried doing a loop-de-loop with a steam train because the Wright Bros (who don’t make a right with two Wrights) convinced him to. He ended up failing, and they told him to shove his rail up his crack, so he wrote in the land “Go fuck yourselves”. So some guy who hated airplanes because he owned trains.
“I wanna share a tale with you about the ‘Mercian dream, when all the railroads ran on time and our nation ran on steam. Behind the tracks and railroad ties, a hero took command, of connecting every town, and he was called, ‘Railroad Man’”

The Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) aka the “Pennsy” was A titan of American railroading history. It was once the largest and most influential railroad in the United States. Renowned for its engineering prowess and iconic locomotives, such as the sleek Art-Deco GG1 electric locomotives and the mighty K4 steam locomotives, the PRR was a symbol of industrial power and innovation. However, the railroad’s dominance faltered in 1968 when it merged with its longtime rival, the New York Central, to form the Penn Central Transportation Company (Penn Central). Despite their combined size, the merger was a logistical and financial catastrophe, as the two networks were poorly integrated and fraught with inefficiencies. Within two years, Penn Central filed for
bankruptcy, marking one of the largest corporate failures in U.S. history.
In 1976, the railroad’s remaining assets, along with those of other struggling northeastern railroads, were handed over to the newly established Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail). Conrail operated successfully until its eventual division in 1999 between Norfolk Southern and CSX Transportation, with Norfolk Southern inheriting much of the former PRR system. Amtrak acquire control of PRR’s electrified Main Line east of Harrisburg, preserving a critical piece of its legacy.
Amelia: “Man, the Pennsylvania Railroad was a beast back in the day. They had the GG1, the K4s, and some of the best infrastructure in the country.”
Malik: “Yeah, but then they merged with New York Central and it all went downhill. Penn Central was a trainwreck—literally.”
Amelia: “True, but you gotta respect the PRR for building the backbone of modern railroading. Their legacy still lives on with Amtrak, CSX, Some Commuter trains and Norfolk Southern.”
