Yes, it's a real tongue-twister. On VERY rare occasions I would work as conductor. Back then the conductor did all the PA announcements, including a brief travelogue during the trip. There was a contest to see who could say "Pinorealosa" without either messing it up or breaking up laughing. Of course having the brakeman and snack car staff staring you down while you were doing the announcement didn't help much. I survived by sticking my head out the window and looking the other way.....
