As an outsider, it is easy to question “why” a particular group does not merge with another organization. Perhaps the groups may share proximity to one another, similar missions, similar membership, etc. At a high level assessment, a merger makes sense.
Unlike a corporate business merger involving a financial transaction, a rail focused organization merger involves the cooperation of individuals. To work together, individuals have to set aside egos, personality conflicts, hidden agendas etc.
Yes, it has and been done; however, it is not simple.
