Get the University Of Pennsylvaniamug. A university campus in the little town of California, Pennsylvania, originally called California University of Pennsylvania. It will always be known by its former name by locals and alumni who graduated under the former name. The new name is dumb and boring, and no one likes “PennWest” as a school name. The former name was also nicknamed “Cal U”, as a shorter way of saying California University. #notmyalmamater is what a lot of students use to refer to this school who attended and graduated before the ridiculous name change. This school is situated along the Monongahela River, about 27 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, PA. Therefore, this school also goes by a nickname of “Harvard on the Mon”.
Person A: “Did you go to PennWest California, Pennsylvania?”
Person B: “No, I went to California University of Pennsylvania.”

Get the PennWest California, Pennsylvaniamug. The Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) aka the “Pennsy” was A titan of American railroading history. It was once the largest and most influential railroad in the United States. Renowned for its engineering prowess and iconic locomotives, such as the sleek Art-Deco GG1 electric locomotives and the mighty K4 steam locomotives, the PRR was a symbol of industrial power and innovation. However, the railroad’s dominance faltered in 1968 when it merged with its longtime rival, the New York Central, to form the Penn Central Transportation Company (Penn Central). Despite their combined size, the merger was a logistical and financial catastrophe, as the two networks were poorly integrated and fraught with inefficiencies. Within two years, Penn Central filed for
bankruptcy, marking one of the largest corporate failures in U.S. history.
In 1976, the railroad’s remaining assets, along with those of other struggling northeastern railroads, were handed over to the newly established Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail). Conrail operated successfully until its eventual division in 1999 between Norfolk Southern and CSX Transportation, with Norfolk Southern inheriting much of the former PRR system. Amtrak acquire control of PRR’s electrified Main Line east of Harrisburg, preserving a critical piece of its legacy.

Amelia: “Man, the Pennsylvania Railroad was a beast back in the day. They had the GG1, the K4s, and some of the best infrastructure in the country.”
Malik: “Yeah, but then they merged with New York Central and it all went downhill. Penn Central was a trainwreck—literally.”
Amelia: “True, but you gotta respect the PRR for building the backbone of modern railroading. Their legacy still lives on with Amtrak, CSX, Some Commuter trains and Norfolk Southern.”
