All Aboard Bonus Episode: Railroad Transactions, Poison Pills, & Junk Bonds
Episode 041 (Shouldn't Paint So Fast...Or Should You?) Covered the Southern Pacific Santa Fe non-merger, and it meant we needed a clearer explanation of the procedures for railroad mergers, so-called "Poison Pills" which provide defenses for companies facing hostile acquirers, and "Junk" bonds. So, we give you a quick hit here to cover all of these.

All Aboard Episode 039: Magazine Throwback: Trains March, 1990
For our first Magazine Throwback, we review several parts of the March 1990 issue of Trains Magazine, including the then-new partnership between the Santa Fe and trucker J.B. Hunt, railroad crew size changes, and the funeral train of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. All of these are relevant in railroading today, so you won't want to miss out.

All Aboard Episode 034: Conrail Today
It's Conrail Week! Today we dive in to Conrail as a Shared Asset operator, coupled with a discussion of the fight between CSX and Norfolk Southern, why Conrail didn't exactly go away on May 31, 1999 and where you can find it today. Of note, Phil makes a small mistake when talking about Conrail's division date and the correct date is May 31, 1999.
