[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Murphy Siding</i> <br /><br />In March of 1970, William Quinn of CBQ was chosen to be vice-chairman of Burlington Northern. Instead, he chose to return to the presidensy of Milwaukee Road. If this fella had a working knowledge of the inner works of both the *infamous* Hill roads, and the Milwaukee Road, why did he choose Milwaukee Road. Surely, he knew of BN's diabolical plans![:-,] <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Perhaps he felt that BN was the next likely candidate for a Penn Central type debacle. Perhaps he did not feel the Milwaukee would actually do the unthinkable aka scrap the PCE. <br /> <br />What we do know is this: Quinn worked for a Hill line, yet chose a non-Hill line over the BN presidency. What did he know via the inside that you don't know from the outside?[}:)]
