One great side effect of "the Big One" (or should that be, "the Big Two"?) is the resultant spinoffs such mergers would bring. <br /> <br />I predict that we will see a much larger pool of regionals once we have two national systems, as, ala BNSF's latest strategy, they will concentrate on specific city pairs that are profitable- conentrate on mostly transcon corridors. So we could actually see a return of the "old class one" era, rebranded as regionals. No, never as many as say 1950, but certainly there could be one or two dozen new regionals when the dust clears. <br /> <br />And wouldn't that be fun to railfan?
