[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by MichaelSol [quote]"If there is any doubt about that, reflect on the fact that, by 1967, the profit had finally just about been squeezed out of the Northern Pacific Railroad, as it earned only $$9,767,000.00, net railway operating income, compared to the Milwaukee Road's $51,386,019.00, which was, by the way, even better than the Great Northern's that year. There was nothing left of the NP as a profitable transcontinental. It was doomed, and the Northern Lines people knew it." [/quote] Curious. What's your source for this, Michael? And what was NP's operating ratio and net income for that year compared to MILW's? Those are at least as good a barometer as operating income of a line's overall performance.
