If you want a sobering antidote to corporate hubris, read the Dow Jones Industrial Average for every year since it was founded.
Can you elaborate?
Of the original list (which is mostly railroads) I think only Union Pacific and Western Union still exist under their own name.

It's the "30 best companies" or such, and not a single one of the original companies is still on the list. Of the original list (which is mostly railroads) I think only Union Pacific and Western Union still exist under their own name.

Are you thinking of the right list? The original DJIA components had multiple companies that still exist today such as General Electric and Domino Sugar. The only railroad company was TCI, but they were primarily in the steel business and have been US Steel for over 100 years.

At the time I never knew of its history or my family history with it until my Dad gave me a metal box. In it were old family documents, pictures, mementos mostly from my great-grandfather. He worked on the railroad but I had never know about it I barely even knew his father my grandfather.
Even more historically powerful my province which at the time was not a province of Canada had massive debt due to railroad construction costs. We only joined Canadian Confederation to get the debt paid off and since it is an island a promise to have year-round access to the mainland.

Is "fallen flag" a phrase I should recognize? I realize the site is probably not for me, but I would have appreciated a paragraph explaining what is being presented here
The audience of the site are railfans - and these terms are common in the jargon of that hobby. We don't define cpu on pages about speculative execution, do we?
