PRR got FDR alphabet money (Reconstruction Finance Corp) for the electrification/modernization project. IC had the city forcing them to quit polluting w/ steam engines, and South Shore was owned by an electric utility magnate. FWIW, it was FDR's New Deal which outlawed cross ownership between electricity sellers and electrified RRs.
As to "OPM" California is a net donor to the loser Red states. If we simply kept fed taxes levied within the state and received NOTHING from DC we would be ahead financially.
