That certainly is a facinating contrast. =) Especially since the story of the "Bidding war" was information I gleaned from reading materials at the Denver Railroad Museum, and the "Wabash RR vs the Canal" info I got from the Indiana State Archives... I know that the NY,C,& STL fell into (or near) Bankruptcy prior to the Van Swearingen brothers era, maybe that's how it fell into the NYC family? And the "scoundrel" listed as behind the "proxy land grab" of lands ajoining the Canal was Jay Gould, according to the literature I read.. Granted, it was years ago when I read all this, but I don't think I'm "loosing it" that bad,...yet anyway... but who knows? =)
