PC: Re: PC "Pin Up"

["Peter King" <fshobby@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Typical for Railroad magazine during the period. I believe their readership
was falling drastically during the period, and they resorted to 'cheesecake'
pictures to try to boost it a little. You may also notice the 'pen pal'
column in the back of the magazine  is dominated by young ladies from the
Phillippines.

If you look a little more closely at the various issues, you'll see that
there's really only a handful of different girls. The same ones show up over
and over.

Railroad originally started as a magazine for railroad workers. It later
evolved into a railfan magazine.
