Rail rate warfare ends: trunk lines cut ticket prices westward
The article notes a price battle between New York trunk lines and western routes, predicting material fare reductions and fewer opportunities for ticket scalpers. It reports Sabine Pass and Texas Northern railway charter filings, and leadership ties to H W Twombly R H Parker W B Hotchkiss and R A Abbott. It also covers Cincinnati Southern lease talks and staff moves at Fitchburg and Atchison Topeka. The Mexican Central expands toward Tula Hermosillo and Guaymas, with low rates persisting across lines.
