Northern Pacific plans to take over Red River Valley Railway
In August 1888 readers learn of a public agreement where the Northern Pacific will acquire the Red River Valley Railway and build lines to compete with the Canadian Pacific. Manitoba funds and bonuses are laid out for bridges at Assiniboine and new routes from Winnipeg to Portage la Prairie and Morris to Brandon, with rates set by the government and railways free from taxation until operating costs are covered. The arrangement sparks Winnipeg and Portage reactions and scrutiny of the government’s handling by Van Horne.
