Yes, I just saw while reading Plowden's latest release of "spans across america" That Gould finally made it to the east coast. I had always thought that hope had been frustrated in the didding wars instigated by the Nickle Plate between he and Vanderbilt. Guess it's difficult to keep a determined "hard head" down... for long anyway. The NY, Chi, & StL / Lackawanna merger you mention sounds interesting, but of course White was a very behind the scenes wheeler dealer for the several interests he represented. It's tough for me to envision how the old "Lackawanna" route would have keyed into the Nickle Plate, mostly because what familiarity I have with Lackawanna is "Erie-Lackawanna", and where those two distinguish, I have no clue....got a link to a map?..=)
