Date: 05/24/16 05:30 Re: L & N 576 Author: mopacrr Somewhere I read that the reason the NC&STL named the 4-8-4's "Yellow Jackets" is that someone in the upper management of the NC&STL at the time had a connection to Georgia Tech,which calls it teams "The Yellow Jackets". Is there any truth to that?
