The Pennsylvania Railroad (reporting mark PRR) was an American Class I railroad, founded in 1846. Commonly referred to as the "Pennsy," the PRR was headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The PRR was the largest railroad by traffic and revenue in the U.S. for the first half of the twentieth century. Over the years, it acquired, merged with or owned part of at least 800 other rail lines and companies. At the end of 1925, it operated 10,515 miles of rail line; in the 1920s, it carried nearly three times the traffic as other railroads of comparable length, such as the Union Pacific or Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroads. Its only formidable rival was the New York Central (NYC), which carried around three-quarters of PRR's ton-miles.
At one time, the PRR was the largest publicly traded corporation in the world, with a budget larger than that of the U.S. government and a workforce of about 250,000 people. The corporation still holds the record for the longest continuous dividend history: it paid out annual dividends to shareholders for more than 100 years in a row.
Vs 1:
It really hurts to say this, yes it does.
But after a while sweet love just ain't enough.
So many settle for less just because.
Maybe I'm more in love with what it was.
But wat gets so confusing baby, You and Me.
It's been so much confusion lately.
You couldn't see that you were losing me.
Chorus:
Well, I'm alone now, but I ain't lonely.
I'm on my own now, but I ain't the only.
Honestly, I'm fine,
I'll take this time to concentrate on me.
And I got possibility to keep me company.
Vs.2:
Won't you just assume he doesn't care.
To internalize it all just isn't fair.
So I address the problem so that he's aware.
But I still feel all alone even when he's there.
Maybe we can fix it baby, I know we can.
If I make you miss it baby, Then maybe you'll understand.
Chorus
