Am I out of order to remind everyone that William Jackson Palmer spent his formative years as a railroader as the Secretary to the President of the Pennsylvania Railroad? I forget how long he was in this role before the Civil War, but it would not surprise me if he was steeped in the abuilding "Standard Railroad of the World's" standards of the era. Heck, he may have even set off with a couple standards books to help as he built his own little railroad project!
