    Does anyone have some comprehensive history for the BCR&N, and it's acquisition by the CRI&P?

    According to what I can find, BCR&N was leased by the RI on June 1, 1902. Then operated by the RI until absorbed on June 15, 1903.

    Was the BCR&N operated under it's own identity until absorption? Or as part of the RI?

    When did the BCR&N first fall under the influence of the RI? It must have been prior to being leased. Controlled by purchase of stock? If so, is there a date available for this happening?

    :D

    There was info on the RITS calendar for 2003 but I'm not sure if it was as comprehensive enough. I would look in their website and inquire on their BBS.

    Just hoping for some information, as those questions noted above. I was a past member of RITS, and had asked there, but nobody had an answer.

    After I learn these answers, I would wish to find an expert on the CK&N....
