How about New York Central+Virginian? This would've given NYC much more access to the West Virgina coalfields, putting it into an excellent position to compete with the N&W+NKP+Wabash and the C&O+B&O in coal shipments to the Midwest...and possibly negating the disasterous merger with the Pennsy. It also would've allowed the NYC direct access to such southeastern railroads as the ACL & SAL. For the Virginian, merger with NYC, would've likely created more overhead bridge traffic, allowing it to diversify its traffic base away from primarily coal. Lastly, it would've preserved the Mullens-Roanoke electricfication, allowing continuation of a cleaner and far more efficient form of motive power (but that's another topic!)
