[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by bobwilcox</i> <br /><br />Trains once ran an article saying Casey Jones caused his fatal accident at Vaugn, MS. Beebe responded that mere facts were immaterial. <br /> <br />Dave you are the Milwaukee's Beebe. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />It has been factually established that the Milwaukee's demise stemmed from it's failed attempt to merge with CNW, in which maintenance was deferred to make the balance sheet acceptable to CNW stockholders. It is also a statement of fact that the two best northern transcons were the GN/SP&S (grades) and the Milwaukee (mileage), while the two worst were/are the UP and NP. The latter shows the fallacy of the "best grades beget absolute longevity" argument as put forth by MM and MH. <br /> <br />It is your side that renders facts immaterial, partaking in history revision as a form of addiction. <br /> <br />Congratulations Bob. You've just been inducted into the Fraternal Order of the Ilks.
