AH Challenge: Modernize the US railroad industry/network, beginning in the late 1960s or early 1970s without the massive consolidations that occurred in the OTL. In my scenario there would be no massive BNSF,UP
CSX or NS. You may have large systems but not four massive systems that dominate the nation. I would also like to have a continuation of the
profitable long distance passenger trains, like some of the names that continued under Amtrak. However, these train must be run by the RRs and
not a quasi government corporation.
When I say modernized I mean modern equipment, work rules, marketing
strategies and intermodal. I understand there will be some consolidation and the discontinuation of local and duplicate passenger services as well as duplicate facilities.
