[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Chris30</i> <br /><br />ahh... 2020 predictions. I can't even remember what shirt I wore to work yesterday... <br /> <br />In 2020.. <br />- The goverment still will not allow any monoplys... That means no BNSF+UP & no CSX+NS <br />- Amtrak will still being around <br />- KCS will not <br />- Canadian National will buy KCS & something in Mexico. There new slogan will be, "We've got your NAFTA right here buddy!" <br />- The UP will be allowed to merge with CSX. The name of the "new" railroad will be... Union Pacific (duh!). A huge meltdown will take place in... oh I don't know, how about Buffalo? <br />- The BNSF will be allowed to merge with NS. Not because the UP merged with CSX; it will be due to the BNSF execs forgetting what Heritage paint scheme they are on. <br />- The Brighton Park Intnerlocker (Chicago) will still be the busiest non-interlocked junction. <br />- Rail America will buy every short line from San Diego to Maine. Instead of using different names for each shortline they will give the railroad one name, "The Somewhere to Nowhere Railroad". <br />-The new BNSF+NS will not work because the suits will not be able to decide where to put the "horsey". The Santa Fe will split with the Transcon, rebuild/buy & rebuild the Erie main line from Chicago to New Jersey and proclaim that they should have done this back in '74. The BN & NS will have no other choice but to stay together. Instead of using the stallions head for the logo, they will use the stallions ***. <br /> <br />Just meesing around, <br />CC <br />[/quote] <br />I gots an idea for UP+ CSX it's Union Seaboard X(for all the roads like SP..lalala)
