Yes, Perlman (RIP) could teach Ward a thing or 2. From a long term POV, the refusal of the C&O braintrust to consider letting NYC into the C&O/B&O merger was the major disaster in eastern railroading. Had they merged then and the smaller fish been sorted out betwen them and an N&W tail wagging the PRR dog we never needed to have the PC debacle. And just to underline the craven behavior in Cleveland, C&O, calling itself Chessie by then was offered E-L for a pittance during the lead up to ConRail. Again they declined failing to see that access to the New York Port with oversize clearances might be valuable. Not to mention that E-L's loco fleet was in good shape which is why I saw E-L SD 45s on the freight bypass above 3oth St in may 76. |
