Dangerous Tower of Government in Rail Plan Debate
The plan by Leonor F. Loree and WA Harriman to build a New York to Chicago railway via Pittsburgh faces opposition before the interstate commerce commission from New York Central, Pennsylvania, and Baltimore and Ohio. Proponents say the route trims distance and crosses mountains with lower grades, arguing for national development and capital investment. Critics warn government power could stifle enterprise and expansion, signaling a shift in railroad policy. The Intelligencer critiques this intervention as dangerous to unfinished progress.
