May I offer a couple corrections? The Virginian Railway used the reporting mark VGN and the Erie Western used the reporting mark ERES.

I don't know why I used VIR for the Virginian, I knew it was VGN Also I didn't know the an Erie Western actually existed. The reporting marks I stated was the result of my paper railroad Virginian & Western merging with the Erie Lackawanna. Which would have resulted in the real Erie Western never being formed because we would still own it. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

The AW owns all of the reporting marks stated through mergers or purchases of entire railroad just like CSX owns the reporting marks of L&N and NYC.

I wasn't mentioning it for you

I was talking more about the HC&E [By Conrailman5]. He listed NYC, but he dosn't own the rights. IT was just the track used to be NYC. PC actually owns the rights in this senario. I also own ex NYC track (Ex LSRC Mackinac Sub), but as I stated, I don't own the rights to NYC....
