I decided make a thread just for people who wanted to share with the community about personal experiences while playing in the game, in-game projects, testimonies, railroad operations, backgrounds and history of those railroads as well as the current state of those railroads and anything related. So let it out, we want to hear your personal trainz stories. I'd like to hear them too. Just keep it clean and get along and don't bash anybody . That's all I ask of everybody.
I'll start it off:
Eastmont Northern's Turning Point: 1990-2002
Following the February 18, 1990 merger with the. Mixondale, Lawson Heights & Southern(MLHS) and the Chandlerville Western which were both 19,400 miles in length at the time of the merger, created the Eastern Pacific Railroad and the route miles doubled to 38,800 miles leaving the Meadowview Eastern, Javarrington Pacific(JP) and the Eastmont Northern at a grand total of 36,304. The three railroads combined still fell short by a total of 2,496 miles to the largest railroad in the Eastern Pacific. As business steadily began to move to the Eastern Pacific, competition between the three railroads began to intensify and talks of a mega merger surfaced but none ever became a consideration nor a serious discussion.
The fall of the St. James & Midwestern(SJMW) in April 1994 rewarded the JP with 4,096 miles of track, which turned out to be 50 percent of the SJMW and gained half of their other assets. In 1995 when all three railroads were stifled and in a deadlock the Eastmont Northern Railroad decided to plan out a merger with the Meadowview Eastern though they did not publicly announce their plans until 1997. Around that same time the JP decided to make an offer to acquire and purchase the Eastmont Northern of 4.4 billion but rejected. On May 4, 1997 the Eastmont Northern requested to the SBC to merge with the Meadowview Eastern and a short time later both railroads mutually and verbally agreed and in April 1998 the SBC approved of the merger stating the Eastmont Northern as the "Surviving Company" for their the ones initiating the merger and had shown them plans on the preparation of the merger which convinced they'd be better suited and would have better brand recognition. On August 12, 1998 at 4:44 P.M. the Eastmont Northern and Meadowview Eastern formally merged as the Meadowview Eastern railroad became a fallen flag.
In January 2001 the Eastmont Norther which was currently sitting a 30,300 miles announced their intentions to merge with the JP and was a approved shortly thereafter and went into affect on April 4, 2002 which gave them a grand total of 40,400 miles of track and made them the largest railroad in America, dethroning the Eastern Pacific who held the title for over 12 years.
