Its interesting how KCS stands out in the Mid-south region. In the 80's, UP gobbled up MoPac and MKT, but KCS remained standing. [dinner] <br /> <br />Does anyone have any perspective on what made these others more attractive? We KCS redundant to UP after these mergers? <br /> <br />Its great to keeps some independent lines like this, its just odd that UP or BNSF didn't find a way to gobble KCS up. [%-)] <br />Thanks, <br /> - Stack
