Railroads expand CP ownership and trunk line talks

The Canadian Pacific has acquired the Duluth South Shore Atlantic and Minneapolis Sault Ste. Marie Atlantic railways, extending CP control from Duluth to Boston via reduced routes. The deal guarantees 4 percent on bonds, shaping west to east traffic and avoiding Chicago detours. Separately, Pennsylvania Lehigh & Main plans a 99 mile coal and passenger line from Tomhicken to Port Jervis, linking Lehigh Valley coal regions to New England, with a hoped launch within a year. The joint Trunk Lines and Central Traffic Association met in New York to adjourn to Chicago, preserving a uniform bill of lading while considering amendments. Rumors place Essex electric sheet railway at 140 per share to Lynn & Boston, with Naumkeag as bidder.
