Well, if such could happen, it would be more likely now than then. Back then, you had 3 roads in the East and 4 roads in the West, so if an end to end merger took place, the rest of the roads could keep their regionality and not lose their multiple connectivity. Now if an end to end merger occurs, it almost certainly forces the remaining two big boys to merge as well, if for no other reason than to keep up with the Jones. <br /> <br />You will note that current merger talk is more directed toward a Canadian road shacking up with a US counterpart, not a US East + West merger. Then you have KCS, DM&E et al - what happens to them?
