Missouri Pacific Gains Gulf Coast Lines Control
Interstate Commerce Commission approves Missouri Pacific purchase of a controlling stake in Gulf Coast Lines, including International and Great Northern, creating a major system with two Mexico routes via Laredo and Brownsville. The move widens gulf port access and shortens distance to St. Louis, while easing U S Mexico traffic. Roy V. Hoggatt named agent for multiple steamship lines. William C. Brown, former NY Central president, dies at 71.
