List,

Attached is a newspaper analysis from March 12, 1928 of what the Van Sweringens were planning with all their proposed mergers, and the ramifications on other roads. I've read it three times and my head is still spinning. For those of you who like to engage in "WHAT IF", you should have a field day.

I don't have any further articles, but the direction these are headed in seem to indicate the mergers died because of the lack of ICC approval.
