What's the railroad with the reporting marks: KGB?  I know the GB is for "Green Bay."

And the winner (I think) is...(tada)..railroads suffixed "Eastern".

Expecting a short list, I did a search with the keywords "Eastern Railroads". I found (groan) over 50.  I can't handle that much typing, though I did scribble the list on a notepad.  Someone else can have a go at it.  8)

Are we having fun yet?
