The events of 1964 are not well-described; it's not clear which railroad the Wabash ended up as part of at that point. Mangoe 22:03, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
In the 60's the Wabash railroad became the Norfolk and Western. LAMoore54 ( talk) 15:41, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Hey guys, I've just improved the formatting and layout of this long-neglected article, so I think it's a little easier to get through now. But I have some concerns about accuracy and sourcing in several parts of the article, and I'm also concerned about the accuracy of the merger tree I made from two separate trees that were already here, but not connected.
I used the somewhat hard-to-follow text of the article as a guide to merging them - but the Wabash is not one of my pet roads, so I hope someone with more expertise will have a look at things, make any needed corrections, and find some more sources to verify the different parts of this article.
