The plan aims to absorb Wheeling and Lake Erie and three small coal roads, forming a system of about 4148 miles capitalized at 2.5 billion dollars. A second proposed group would unify Great Northern and Northern Pacific with Buffington under a single system titled Great Northern Pacific. A third plan links TH, OL, Rondinge, New erses, Centra, Western, Maryland, and Wabash under joint control of Pennsylvania, New York Central, and C O with trackage rights over Pittsburgh lines, involving roughly 1.9 to 2.7 trillion dollars. The piece notes banks' interlocking control of most US railroads and speculates on a future era of single ownership.
