New RLMS: SPRINT: A Railroad Story
Feb. 21st, 2023 06:06 pmFebruary is a short month, so we have a short episode of Railway Legends, Myths, and Stories.
UPDATE, February 25: We spotted some editing mistakes in the original version and uploaded a new one. This is the corrected version.
In this month's episode, we talk about how an important telecommunication company got its start because a big railroad company needed to upgrade its internal communications network and spotted an opportunity to make use of its largest asset: its land.
By the way, the corporate history touched upon in this episode is much more complicated than what we briefly mention, but going through all of the different corporate predecessors and successors is not very visually interesting, so we skipped most of the details.
