Van Sweringen plan seeks merger to form vast rail system
Counsel for Van Sweringen brothers ask the Interstate Commerce Commission to endorse a nine thousand one hundred sixty mile rail merger uniting Chesapeake and Ohio Erie Pere Marquette Hocking Valley and Nickel Plate lines. They say the $155,060,000 preferred and $180,960,000 common issue funds would create a single system under federal supervision to improve competition and cut annual transportation costs by over six million dollars. The plan aims for uninterrupted service from midwest gateways to the Atlantic coast, reducing delays at Buffalo and the Niagara frontier.
