Today at school, I was in the lunch line when I started thinking were would the <font color="navy">Cotton Belt </font id="navy">be today if they had expaned. I thought up this crazy idea but could this have ever happen. Here goes. As most SSW fans know the SSW went through Missouri, Arkansas, and Texas. Now heres were it get <u><b>fictional</b></u>, the SSW expaned the line from St. Louis to Chicago and on to Indiapolis to the East. In Texas the line was expaned from Tyler to Houston and on to Corpus Christi. The SSW then took over theTexas & New Orleans with track from Austin to New Orleans. Then a line from St. Louis to Kansas City Mo. was built and track was laid from Kansas City thru Oklahoma to Dallas TX.. <br />The the SSW took over the Texas and Pacific and ran trains from Fort worth to El Paso and interchanging with th SP. Are you still with me[?][?][?] <br />The SSW then saw trackged right over the SP thru New Mexico and Arizona. Then the SSW built track from Texas to Arizona. THIS IS TRUE!!! THE SP DID TAKE OVER THE SSW..........but with the SSW expaning, the SP would of been a short line compared to the new SSW thus the <b><font color="navy">SSW</font id="navy"></b> took over the <b><font color="red">SP</font id="red"></b>.[:)][:)][:)] <br />Even though this NEVER HAPPENED[:(][:(][:(], was there any hope of expantion for the Cotton Belt[?][?][?] <br /> <br /><font color="maroon"><b>Every day I wished this would of happened.</b></font id="maroon">
