those tracks so bad , that they make modern-day Amtrak NEC Bouncing look comfortable

[@douglasskaalrud6865]

Penn Central got stuck with the task of downsizing the system maps, downsizing the workforce, and downsizing the physical plant to reflect the new reality that railroads were going to lose customers to the trucks, they were going to lose customers to the Clean Air Act, and they’d be lucky to get their little toe in the door on TOFC. It should be no surprise to anyone that Penn Central’s railroad fell apart underneath them. America abused the bejeebers out of its railroads in two world wars and a police action and then left them high and dry as they fell apart. A grateful nation should have been ready to help rebuild the infrastructure it destroyed in the wars but instead they strangled the railroads further by building the Interstate Highway System. Penn Central was the player without a chair and a target on its back.
