| Lot of people were upset over it all. I worked with a few that still resent that merger and resented merging with the Santa Fe.
I was out on the C&S and had guys still mad at the Q. It won’t die till they are all gone, and even then there will be resentment .
That’s the way it goes.

That is an interesting mix. The one that stands out to me is the Livingston Anti-Merger committee, the brainchild of the late Warren Mcgee. The lasting shadow he cast is still manifested in the NPRHS yearly calendar with the black background for March 3 of any given year. That resentment has been going on now for 51 years. Time to give it a rest! Jim Sandrin
According to the summary of Supreme
Court case United States v. ICC, 396 U.S. 491 (1970), there were
four groups that filed suits to stop the merger: (1) the United
States, through the Antitrust Division of the Department of
Justice, (2) the Northern Pacific Stockholders' Protective
Committee, (3) the City of Auburn, Washington, and (4) the
Livingston Anti-Merger Committee.

IiRC one of the groups was
the City of Auburn, WA. There may have been more.

Hi all,
The BN merger was all set to move forward in
1968.
It got waylaid by an 11th hour lawsuit.
I can’t recall, what group filed suit to stop
to the merger?
Thanks
Jeff
