Re: [CBQ] Traffic Arrangement With The GM&N

["William Hirt" <whirt@fastmail.com>]

This is correct. As per Overton's book, the Q opposed the GM&O merger, 
but did not really fight it. Traffic had never developed the way it was 
envisioned for the Paducah Gateway when it opened. The GM&O and M&O 
merger just compounded the problem.
