Bill;
Black Friday got the name because it marked the first day (traditionally) of Christmas shopping, and the balance on the books of most retail establishments went from red ink to black. Not sure if things work that way presently, but the name has stuck.

This thread seems to be slightly Amtrak related so thought I would posy this video here.
just found something in another forum, that might be right up Rooster’s alley…
Question;
O.V. S. Bullied, The Chief Mechanical Engineer of Britain’s Southern Railway, designed a streamlined
4-6-2 called the Battle of Britain class locomotives. With their usual ironic humor, British rail enthusiasts nicknamed the locomotives “Spam cans”. Would that make those express trains Spamtrak?

Song dedication for Rooster…
