Railroad Syndicate Eyes Clover Leaf Expansion Across Midwest
A powerful syndicate controlling the Clover Leaf and Ohio Southern considers extending to Lima Northern, currently in receivership, as part of a plan to unify lines from Detroit to St Louis. The move could open Canadian Pacific access to Central Freight territory, altering rates in Ohio. Meanwhile, a Rock Island–Great Western dispute over a 21,000 bill and track repairs near Beverly to Stilling, Kansas, led to a court restraining order preventing Rock Island actions and stalling main line disruption.
