Illinois railroad loan plan to connect Mississippi to Chicago
A group of capitalists in New York and Boston propose a $9.24 million loan to Illinois to build a 270 mile rail corridor from the Mississippi at the Illinois junction to Chicago with a branch to Dubque. Land grants totaling 2,572,000 acres would back bonds, with seven percent interest and land security valued at $21.4 million, plus a $2 million stock pool. The plan relies on federal land grants, railroad rights of way, and revenue from tolls to service debt.
