Goulds Coast to Coast Dream Ends in Big Rail War
George J Gould faces resignation as president of Missouri Pacific at the annual shareholders meeting in St Louis, ending a twenty year battle with Wall Street rivals over Gould railroad properties. The fight began after Jays death, with Gould losing control of major holdings like Manhattan Elevated and shaping a coast to coast system through the Missouri Pacific, Wabash and Western Pacific projects.
