[CBQ] CB&Q + AT&SF

["Rupert & Maureen" <gamlenz@ihug.co.nz>]

The current "amalgamation" of the CB&Q and AT&SF (plus a couple of other 
companies) might have had a precedent in May 1875 when the Engineering News 
reported: 



It a current topic of talk in railroad circles that the Chicago, Burlington & 
Quincy are quietly negotiating to extend their road to California by the 
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Road. As the managers of the latter road were 
formerly Chicago, Burlington & Quincy men, the "symptoms" are decidedly 
favorable to a breaking out in that direction.



Any speculation of what might have resulted if this had been fact and not 
rumour? Perhaps an Exposition Flyer or California Zephyr could have been 
running 75 years earlier?
