Ah, the joys of digging through one's Google search results.
In doing so, I found a piece from the people at Liberty Haven about the Florida East Coast Railway.
I know very little about the FEC, largely because it's in Florida and I'm in Virginia. However, I know of it because the management there did something that the Norfolk and Western would wind up doing about a decade later (depending upon how you do the math).
Obligatory N&W Content: Perhaps inspired by the FEC's successful example, Norfolk and Western president Robert B. Claytor sent management to the cab in 1978, when the clerks' union struck the N&W. Claytor became known as the 'Red Baron', for his propensity to operate a Tuscan red locomotive; the livery was experimental livery and in any event, was not adopted.
