Aha! Last minute returns saying the term "Redbirds" was used on the railroad
but not "Graybacks", at least in the Southern Illinois coal fields.... any
votes for "Blackbird" before the polls close???

"Down in this neck of the woods, F units were always
called "covered wagons" and yes, the railroaders
called the red units "red birds" from the very start."
