Oh good grief, railroads and politics have been intertwined from the building of the earliert railroads in the East to the Transcontinental Railroad, formation of the Soo Line, to the creation of USRA, efforts to control smoke from PRR locomotives in Pittsburgh, to the Penn Central bankruptcy, to Amtrak, to ConRail's creation to the split of Conrail by NS & CSX.

Railroads and politics go together like former Illinois Governor Richard Ogilvie and the Milwaukee Road, Beer & Pizza, Sex & Surf in Southern California, baseball and the National Anthem, wetlands and frogs...
