Greater B and C Seen in Plans for a Merger
Plans for a four system consolidation in Eastern railroads would create a merged Greater Baltimore and Ohio system with about 13,465 miles, adding over 8,000 miles to the current B and O. The enlarged system would hold a $1.84 billion property value and projected gross revenues of $575.3 million with a net operating income near $95.5 million. The Nickel Plate would be slightly smaller under the recommended plan. Pennsylvanian opposition persisted as discussions continued before the Interstate Commerce Commission.
