Just checked.

The problem is the railroads were purchased by the winners. Who turned out to be the existing winners. Who then went on to continue to win.

On the one hand, I guess that's just life here in reality.

On the other, man, reality sucks sometimes.

That’s capitalism for you - loser’s margins were winner’s opportunities.

Imagine if they were bought by losers.
