Extensive overunning operations were already established before overrunning came along, including PRR/LIRR. They weren't going to change, too costly.2. Wilgus patented underunning. That meant any new operators not only had to think it was better, they had to think it was enough better to justify paying royalties for it. That fairly well ensured that no new operators outside of the NYC family would take it up until the patents expired. IMHO, that was a kiss of death. Bill |
