Peter, it would have been nice if that merger had occurred. Ironically, I heard the E-L also he’d a majority share of Greyhound Bus Lines.
We can only say "what if" at this point. But just imagine if the NKP was merged into the DL&W. That would of taken the Erie out first, then I would figure the NYC would be next. Whatever railroad the Van cheating brothers had there fingers in would fall quickly, the DL&W was quick to get them off their board. Imagine how much the Lackawanna could have done with the trackage of the NKP, Erie and NYC. Chicago to Maybrook direct would of saw more railroads fold into the Lackawanna. I would've loved to see that happen Artie, but it's just a dream.
