I've been wondering about the famed "Alphabet Route" fast freight
service that battled PRR, NYC, ERIE, etc. for decades. How did all
of those railroad companies (NKP-W&LE-P&WV-WM-RDG, etc)
manage to join forces to establish, market, and maintain this
competitive run-through service? Whose idea was it originally?
When was it first established? Who coined the "Alphabet Route"
phrase, and when?
