name[edit]

"Egypt" presumably comes from Little Egypt (region) (could add that to article)... AnonMoos (talk) 21:43, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

sale and name change[edit]

https://www.railinc.com/rportal/alf_docs/MergersAcq/COER9100.pdf gives the company's name as Crab Orchard & Egyptian Railway, a Division of Progressive Rail Incorporated. http://www.rrb.gov/blaw/bcd/bcd13-13.asp confirms that the company has been sold to Progressive Rail Incorporated. I will update the article accordingly. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 03:23, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
