one of the most disastrous if not the most disastrous acquisitions to take place in the history of u.s railroading must be that of guilford transportation's acquisition of the dnh had this acquisition worked out it would have provided yet another way of trains going from maine all the way down to washington dc providing more competition to the mega railroad such as csx and norfolk southern instead it became yet another example in u.s rarity of what not to do in these sort of circumstances to gain a good understanding as to what happened with this merger and why it was so disastrous as well as just how volatile it was for the northeastern railroads of the united states during the late 60s to mid 70s we need to take a detailed look at both of the merger parties as well as another railroad that will come up constantly in the history of this merger the penn central this was a highly infamous attempt to combine the new york central railroad with the pennsylvania railroad these two railroads had trackage that paralleled each other and or ran nearby each other in the same general territory the concept of the merger was simple get rid of the duplicate trackage and allow for one lean mean fighting machine to dominate that area of u.s railroading the two corporate cultures of these railroads the new york central and the pennsylvania couldn't have been further apart the new york central railroad had been for the longest time in debt because of its lack of modernization that's where this gentleman comes in his name is alfred e pearlman mr perlman had been brought aboard the company by the then chairman robert r young to modernize it and help it adapt to a new future passenger trains for example were becoming less and less profitable freight trains on the other hand were becoming the new bread and butter of the current existing railroads of that time but the more critical issues that would be focused upon were to make the company more efficient in general for example the new york central still had a four-track main line which even by this point in the mid to late 50s was beginning to look increasingly outdated as new technologies such as ctc or central traffic control would allow a two-track mainline to perform just as effectively as a four-track main line with of course the reduced maintenance from having two fewer tracks in addition to the increased technology utilized the main reason why this particular setup allows for this incredible achievement is that all the dispatching is done in one location therefore the dispatchers can see trains throughout the network and make decisions on one train compared to another ones thousands of thousands of miles away from each other let's take for an example a such area where we have three trains two southbound and one northbound the two southbound trains are right on top of each...
