[quote user="n012944"][quote user="futuremodal"]   However, as the saying goes "he who hesitates is lost".  All the railroads that chose to remain (or revert, in the case of the Milwaukee) as granger lines are no longer with us, while all the transcons but the Milwaukee are still around today.  The SP transcon is still here, the SF transcon is still here, the WP/D&RGW transcon is still here, the UP transcon is still here, the NP transcon is still here, the GN transcon is still here, the CP transcon is still here, the CN transcon is still here.  Only the grangers are gone. [/quote] I don't understand what you are saying here.  Are you saying that they only railroads still with us are the western transcons? While there are no longer any of the midwest railroads around in unmerged form, neither are 5 of the 8 you listed above.  The majority of the MAIN lines in granger country are still with us today too, so what is your point?  [/quote] The railroad corporations with the transcons are the ones that took over the grangers.  There was never a case of a predominately granger railroad taking over a transcon.
