<p>Sacrificed their destiny to outside forces?</p><p>How about some examples?</p><p>1. The incident in Withuhn, Rails Across America, in which an unnamed railroad wanted modifications to an EMD design in 1940. EMD said, we will build you a locomotive and let you use it for six months, free. If you do not like it, return it. If you like it, buy it. </p><p>2. Ed King's Sept 2004 article on the railroads being sold high-wheel articulateds for work best done by the N&W Y-6b, unfashionable as compounds were.</p><p>3. The ICC Milwaukee Rd. bankruptcy report (131 ICC 615) on the electrification being approved by a board with banking, electric power, and copper interests doing business with the railroad. The big selling point of electrification was the train going down the hill pulling another going up the hill, but the railroad contracted to buy twice as much electricity as it needed. </p><p>4. Railway Mechanical Engineer becoming Railway Locomotives and Cars about 1952. </p><p> </p><p> </p>
