Intercolonial railway cited as example of state ownership folly
The Morden Chronicle attacks state ownership of railways while praising the Intercolonial as mismanaged under private control. It argues the line’s circuitous routes, weak western terminus, and poor management harmed profits, but credits post reform steps with improving pay and prospects for expansion toward Georgian Bay and Lake Superior ports. It notes potential competition with CPR and questions future revenue from northern routes.
