>>1496198>They had such a dense rail network for the area they covered, so like they OWNED New England basically.Don't forget McGinnis also owned the Boston and Maine, which was just as dense north of Boston as the New Haven was to the south. >They had an electric corridor, which for American Railroads is always a plus
B&M also had the longest rail tunnel at the time of its completion, complete with now-removed electrification. It ain't a full mainline, but it's something.
>Also their McGinnis paint scheme is PROBABLY the best paint scheme ever.B&M also had the McGinnis scheme in blue instead of red in its later years before Mellon fucked everything up
They were brothers, NH and B&M, a match made in heaven. Too bad the ICC would have murdered any attempt at a merger
