In the 80's just after N&W/Sou we, at N&W, would speculate on west coast merger propects. In the east, there was NS, CSX and Conrail. In the west, there was ATSF, BN, UP and SP. We always thought that if an NS/UP consolidation occurred, UP would be the dominant partner. If it were NS/ATSF, NS would be the survivor. If it were NS/BN, it would be a toss-up, probably closer to a zebra. SP was a wild card that someone would gobble up to get rid of it and to access the chemical belt. My, my, how things change! Glad I'm retired and gone while health is still good. All those egos need to be quaranteened for the sake of everyone else.
