Joyce testifies linking two rail lines with KC Southern
President Patrick H. Joyce of the Chicago Great Western Railroad told Senate investigators that he tried in 1931 to tie his line to the Kansas City Southern and create a single office in Kansas City. He said a $200,000 down payment on a controlling KC Southern block failed after a $3,000,000 shortfall. He described plans to close the New York KC Southern office for $250,000 annual savings and centralize in Kansas City. Truman urged keeping headquarters there.
