Yeah. it was the New Haven (New York, New Haven & Hartford) of course.
Except for the named express trains like the Merchants Limited and the
Yankee
Clipper, the NH wasn't too concerned about passenger comfort.

Recently reading a 1915 edition of the NY Times there was this intriguing
item on the World Series....The Phillies who played at the smallest stadium
in the majors, the Baker Bowl, won the first game but lost the next 4 and
the championship to the Red Sox who were playing in brand new Braves Field,
the largest in the majors, because it was larger than Fenway...After the
Series ended the Boston press and players were extra glad because it was
said they wouldn't now have to ride the "Spanish Inquisition & Northeastern
Rail Road" back to Philly...

OK does anyone know which railroad they meant and why?
