Employees May Buy Railroad Under ICC Recommendation
An ICC examiner urged that Chicago & North Western Railroad employees be allowed to buy the railroad, via an employee-owned firm HETCO, potentially creating a major employee-owned business.

Financing and financial support from Northwestern Industries and the railroad are key issues. The railroad’s assets were about $900 million with nearly $300 million annual income.
