Statement on consolidation of St. Joseph lines with Santa Fe
President Judson of the St. Joseph and St. Louis railroad outlines plans to merge with the Santa Fe system forming the St. Joseph St. Louis and Santa Fe Railway Company.

Coal traffic from Richmond mines is expected to quadruple, and Lexington Junction will connect the St. Joseph line with the Santa Fe road seventy two miles from St. Joseph, matching the Hannibal route in distance.
