<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York,_Chicago_and_St._Louis_Railroad">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York,_ ... s_Railroad</a><!-- m -->
....... Another reason for the popularity of the New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railway was the positive economic impact on cities that any new railroad went through at that time. During a newspaper war to attract the New York, Chicago and St. Louis the Norwalk, Ohio Chronicle Newspaper referred to the New York, Chicago and St. Louis as "... double-track nickel-plated railroad." The New York, Chicago and St. Louis adopted the nickname and it became better known as the Nickel Plate Road.....
... So I took a slice of the "rail" ..........................
