Scenarios about 'penn central'

The Penn Central Transportation Company was a major American railroad formed in 1968 through the merger of the Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads, creating the largest railroad in the United States at that time. Its dramatic bankruptcy in 1970 represented the largest corporate failure in American history until then, highlighting the decline of American railroads and prompting significant federal intervention in the northeastern rail system. In alternate history scenarios, Penn Central often serves as a pivotal point for exploring different outcomes in American transportation policy, corporate management, or government regulation of essential infrastructure.
