Re: Dinky

[Denny Anspach <danspach@m...>]

As a child and young adult in the 40's and '50s, the Burlington's 
suburban service was coin of the realm in my daily life. Never did I 
ever hear of these trains or services referred to as "dinkies", or a 
"dinky". That is not to say that they may not have been referred to 
in this manner by the dispatchers, or by the crews, but it certainly 
did not seem to be a term commonly used by, or known by the great 
unwashed.
