The Main Line towns in the townships of Lower Merion, Radnor, Haverford, and Tredyffrin offer both quality and quantity in what you are looking for in a community and a life style.

However, problems were encountered at towns such as Gloucester where the Great Western provided its broad gauge track from the south of the town met the Gloucester and Birmingham standard gauge track from the north.
Eventually in 1846 an Act was passed initially preventing the GWR from building new broad gauge lines but a compromise was reached which provided for mixed gauge, with three rails instead of two enabling trains of different gauge to travel the same route.
It was on the 'Great Eastern' that Brunel suffered a heart attack and died on the 15th of September.

 TGOL - Oceanic
Of course the tonnage of Great Eastern remained a record, for the White Star Lines new duo would only have a gross tonnage of slightly over 17,000 tons compared to the Great Eastern’s near 19,000.
As the White Star Line’s policy more and more turned out to be, speed was not the main part about the new ships.
With two huge funnels painted in the White Star Line’s company colour buff, raised forecastle and poop deck and the clean lines typically for White Star ships, she was quite a beautiful sight.

 Story: The Grand Trunk Main Line - and how it got that way...
And to add to Vanderbilt's animosity toward the GT, the other eastern trunk lines (the Pennsylvania, the Baltimore and Ohio, the New York, Lake Erie and Western) tended to side with the GT in rather violent rate wars that raged at infrequent intervals.
The Great Western had long been active in exchanging traffic with the DandM and had actually acquired control of the Detroit-Grand Haven line in 1877.
