Recently I read here about how UP had control of Chicago nortwestern long before they assimilated them. <br /> <br />Historically, there are some interesting relationships of how PRR had control of the Wabash, NYC had the "Big Four" and the Nickle Plate,, and even the story about how the dividends paid by N&W on their stock were the only profit made by PRR some years. <br /> <br />Are there any other instances where one big name owned another, where It was not made common knowledge to the man in the street, for whatever reason?
