>>This is fun fun right? << Well, OF COURSE!! What kind of monster would do this if the livlihoods of 10's of thousands of real people were at stake??? (just kidding) The SF/CO or SF/BO combo would be a POWERHOUSE tying the "get serious" ports on both coasts together....Compete with the panama canal anyone? =) And the GN/Erie combo could tie the heartland to both oceans extremely well.. In fact, something CLOSE to that was what inspired this fool thread in my head in the first place. Perhaps a Milwaukee/Erie resurrection from the boneyard..? Of course, time, chance, and happenstance were necessary evils to result in "The throw away TransCon" one would have to have been fortuitously lucky to mastermind those roads together when still viable. But the intriguing thing for me is, that the seeming "plum in the pie" to drive the next big merger (coast to coast solo) at considerable pain, just happens to be something someone else already threw away... IRON(ic) Railroad? for a name?
