New Northwest Rail Plan Aims to Unite Lines to Reach Pacific
A Chicago and Northwestern reorganization plan tied to Union Pacific and Great Northern aims to settle the Northern Securities case. It envisions Burlington retaining control of the Great Northern Burlington system, Union Pacific taking Chicago and Northwestern, and Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul controlling Northern Pacific. The scheme seeks an iron clad agreement not to raid territories or cut rates, with cross directorships to guard interests. Market reaction showed Union Pacific at a record high and St. Paul and Great Northern rising, as broader stock gains followed the rumor of a pacified rail map from Chicago to the Pacific Coast.
