Since we’re in fantasy scenarios, which are lots of fun, how about the ICC really preserving competition and having the GN merge with the Milwaukee and NP merge with the CB&Q. Then Rock Island and North Western find a home within those. To preserve competition, North Western goes to NP/CB&Q and Rock Island goes to Milw/GN. I think GN management would have whipped Milw and the Rock into shape. Or the whole crazy house of cards would have collapsed. But these combinations would have kept the maximum competition going to the maximum number of places. SP&S could have remained jointly owned.
