The original "little engine that could". They are very tied to coal and coal - nasty stuff that it is - is becoming a major US export as domestic utilities convert to other sources. GWR owns fragments of rails all over the US, Canada, Australia, and other countries and they're due for a comeback, having lagged the rest of the choo-choo stocks. If they sold off half their lines, they'd make a pretty penny, too, and might - just - might - get bought by UNP or CNI
