State Cities File Briefs to Oppose Railroad Merger
Six Virginia and West Virginia communities filed briefs with the Interstate Commerce Commission opposing a Chesapeake and Ohio and New York Central consolidation. They argued the Virginian Railway would lose an independent outlet to western markets and would be deprived of coal and freight traffic, boosting C and O and New York Central at the Virginian’s expense. The Virginian Railway and Norfolk also opposed the move, while Robert Young and Robert Bowman of C and O seek interlocking board positions on New York Central.
