The next article explains the circumstances that led up to the October 1964 leasing of the Wabash Railroad and its ultimate merger into the Norfolk Southern system in the 1990s. Four articles were selected from the original Wabash Railroad publication, The Banner for the year 1964 and reprinted word for word and in the same style and formatting of the original issues. Also included is a chart that shows at a glance the major components that eventually made up the Wabash system and their years of existence. Also featured are two tables of information as of 2004 about Wabash right-of-way still in existence and Wabash equipment and structures that have been preserved. Following is James Tilton's article detailing where some of the towns and timetable names came from in What’s in a Name.
