Rail merger blocked by U S commission over financing
The Interstate Commerce Commission rejected the Nickel Plate merger plan by a 7 to 1 vote citing financial concerns. The ruling blocks the link of five railroads including New York Chicago and St. Louis with Chesapeake and Ohio and Pere Marquette but allows re submission of financing terms. The commission also disapproved a 63 mile new line from Valley Crossing to Gregg, Ohio without prejudice to later actions by Chesapeake and Ohio.
