Very convincing article. I had to read it twice before I realized you photoshopped it together. Certainly would have been quite a merger in real life if it ever had a a chance to happen. The SEC and FTC would have probably ruled agains it anyway, since that was back in the days when the SEC and FTC actually gave a darn about their jobs.
John, yes we know that, but it's a good fake. This was done by a guy who's running his model railroad as if the NYC was never merged into the Penn Central.
