Consolidation Proposal Outlines Great Railroad Systems
Director General Hines told the American Short Line Railroad Association that a plan to consolidate railroads into 12 to 20 large systems under government regulation would attract private capital and protect weaker lines. He warned that without such regulation, the system would fail. Under the plan, each system would include stronger and weaker roads, feature government representation, and establish a workable valuation basis with excess earnings shared with the government. Prompt congressional action is needed to prevent public harm.
