   I still am uncomfortable with equating the Alpha or Number   
   designations of lines to their former names.  At least I know where   
   the Canarsie Line goes.   
      
   Portland's MAX (regional LRT) uses colors while we contrarians insist   
   on using both colors and destinations such as "the Red Line to the   
   Airport".
