Van Horne Seals Major Canadian Pacific Deals in Duluth
President Van Horne of the Canadian Pacific Railway returns to Montreal from Duluth after negotiating the purchase of the North Star Construction Company and the Superior Belt Line and Terminal Railroad. The acquisition gives CP control of the Duluth and Winnipeg Railroad, enabling a West Duluth extension toward the Mesaba iron range and a potential connection with CP at Emerson. CP plans to extend toward Crockston and push boundary expansion so CP trains may run into Duluth next winter, with dockage property secured for steamers to Duluth and Port Arthur.
