Glydon Gould Vanderbilt (May 26, 1794 - November 3, 1889) was a titan of the industrial age, paving the way for the implementation of a rail system that could connect all of the various kingdoms together. This was, of course, one of the first known monopolies of the Mushroom Kingdom. 

Glydon, though seemingly impervious to government intervention, found his empire crumble around him as the railroads he’d spent his life building were split into various privately owned corporations.
