[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 329639, member: 136"]Oh, MrNate, be careful! Before you know it, your home is going to be overflowing with "cool stuff"! My husband's Dad worked for the [B]New York Central Railroad[/B] (and eventually, one of its successors, Conrail) from the time he was 17 years old until he retired at 67, with a gap of a few years when he served in the Army during WWII. (He worked on railroads then, too!) I have a few (okay, maybe a dozen) pieces of NYC railroad china, packed away in the attic. It's not "pretty" - it's sort of whitish-beige and brown - but it's pretty neat to have it. (Just for example, I have a dish just like the one shown in this listing on RubyLane: [URL]https://www.rubylane.com/item/27950-4215/York-Central-Railroad-Mercury-China-Celery[/URL] ) I KNOW I should start selling some of this stuff, especially the things that have been packed away for so long![/QUOTE]
