From the 1960s onward the United States railroad system went through a series of mergers bringing together smaller lines culminating in the 1990s mergers that brought about the current railroad map. The railroad names that were lost in these mergers have come to be known as fallen flags . Today's photos celebrate the paint schemes of these lost railroads.
