Several months back, Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Canadian National railroads announced plans to merge. Despite the fact that the U.S. Surface Transportation Board has attempted to put a spike in the festivities by declaring a 15-month moratorium on railroad mergers, we thought it would be fun for everyone to put together their ideas of what an eventual merger scheme would look like. Dozens of people sent in their contributions, which have been displayed here. Unfortunately, between several misunderstandings about voting procedures, and the fact that the site has not been maintained over the past several months, the final voting tallies were not able to be counted for a definitive result. As a result, as the owner of the site, I am declaring all of the entries to be winners, and will continue to display them with no favoritism shown. Thanks to all who took part, both through sending in entries as well as participating in the voting. Thanks also to to Dan Dawdy's Cyberspace World Railroad for helping to sponsor the contest and providing the java script to carry out the voting.
