TRRA owners
There seem to have eventually been 16 owners (of which the MP was two because it absorbed the SLIM&S); the C&EI was the last one to enter. The split remained through the 1970s; the ICG also became two owners because it acquired the Alton. It's now split among BNSF, CN, CSX, NS, and UP, each of which has 1/7 except for UP, which has 3/7. My best guess is that the Alton share stayed with CN, the UP got the CRI&P share since the SSW acquired the Tucumcari-St. Louis line, and the two shares that passed to the Penn Central trustees were eliminated.
