Gould-Vanderbilt and later the Van Sweringens: Overall, one of my favo rr stories. Wi***rains mag would put more "historical business context" war stories in their mag, I eat stuff like that up. One account I read of the Nickle Plate insists it was built from day one as a plan to play the greed of Gould against the ambition of Vanderbilt, with profits of the ensuing bidding war the prime mission statement,...and only by accident building a winner from an operation of a railroad point of view. Which the Van Sweringen's saw and exploited nicely. The context of the article being Gould and Vanderbilt saw only the real estate, while the Van Sweringen's saw a railroad...interesting story.
