Control of West Shore Rail Line Draws Vanderbilt Interest
The New York Tribune reports near certainty that Vanderbilt interests hold de facto control of the West Shore railroad through bond purchases and North River Construction stock moves. Plans aim to unify the Nickel Plate and West Shore under New York Central, with long bonds about 50 years and equalizing rates from New York to Chicago. Estimates and negotiations suggest a total financing near 32 to 49 million dollars, shaping a single Central system if deals succeed.
