Can you believe the History Channel also mentions our old buddy Samuel 
Insull in a positive light? For years, he was almost never mentioned and in 
most history books, he was portrayed as a crook.

Did you catch the following story in Trains a number of years ago? During 
WWII, some German P.O.W.s were being taken by train across the country to 
prisoner camp. When one of the Germans saw the behemoths in U.P.'s Omaha 
yards, he stated that he knew then and there who was going to win the war. 
He was reported to have said (I'm paraphrasing here), "We have toys when 
compared to America's railroads."
