BREAKING NEWS: Rock Island, NYCS to merge?

[mtrpls]

Ran across this story in the New York Times:

New York Times article from 9/26

 

[UP2CSX]

Very convincing article. I had to read it twice before I realized you photoshopped it together. Certainly would have been quite a merger in real life if it ever had a a chance to happen. The SEC and FTC would have probably ruled agains it anyway, since that was back in the days when the SEC and FTC actually gave a darn about their jobs.

Does this mean that I have to start repainting?

 

[jbaakko]

Hummm...

1. What will the new railroad be called? NYRIS? (New York & Rock Island System)
2. Paint?

Sound interesting!

I like how you put that article together to look as though it really was from The Times' website. Definitely convincing.

 

[Steve B]

Thats great, very convincing news story, look forward to the merger, and paint job's

Fake. .

 

[okiecrip]

r.i. n.y.c. merger

very cool and reallistic

 

[NYSW F45]

Wow, that is very well put together.

mtrpls, where do you run your trains at?

 

[UP2CSX]

Fake. .

John, yes we know that, but it's a good fake. This was done by a guy who's running his model railroad as if the NYC was never merged into the Penn Central.

How about...

New York Rocks!
