Fascinating tale of what happened BEFORE the final hammer fell.
It just goes to illustrate the HOW of what on the surface appeared to be a story of a larger fish, making a meal out of a smaller fish

P&W's Board of Directors had a fiduciary duty to P&W's stockholders to maximize the return to those stockholders. Sounds like they did a great job.

Given P&W's strategic access to the ports of Providence and Quonset, RI, the latter including an important automotive import/export facilty, I imagine both CSX and Norfolk Southern were interested. CSX does quite a bit of interchange with P&W and NS operates Ethanol trains to Providence jointly with the carrier.
