[edit] Merge?
I have tagged a merge from Oregon Railway and Navigation Company. It appears that the ORR was simply a reorganization of the ORy, and not really a consolidation as the article states. In any case, I do not believe any railroads were newly acquired by the ORR in 1896. --NE2 23:30, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- This is somewhat vague to me, but I think Oregon Railway and Navigation Company went broke and became Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company. Let me consult a source on this, it may make since to leave them separate to help prevent confusion. Or not. But in a day or so I should be able to shed some light on this.Mtsmallwood (talk) 23:35, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry for not explaining it further, but that's what a reorganization generally consists of. This used to happen often in the rail industry; for instance look at the former names of the Erie Railroad. --NE2 00:31, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
