Jim, Very interesting stuff, but the list went by too fast. One of my
favorite railroads (Milwaukee Road) was pretty high on that list early
on. Of course with Rockefeller money in the game I'm sure didn't hurt
either.
I tune into a MILW road Yahoo group and a couple of knowledgeable
members and many speculators can talk endlessly about the road's
demise--interesting history to say the least.

The Dow Jones put out a 129 year timeline of companies that made up
The Dow Jones over the years. It used to be called The Dow Jones
_Industrial_ Average and railroad history buffs might be interested
in how many and which railroads, and aligned industries, were part of
the Dow in years past. Hopefully the attached link will work for
anyone interested...
