Consolidation UpTown Zones Active Harriman In Control
Reports indicate a planned consolidation of Wheeling & Lake Erie and Wabash-Pittsburg Terminal under Harriman, with a sale of the merged properties to Erie or Baltimore & Ohio.

Foreclosure moves by Wabash-Pittsburg Terminal bondholders loom as the mortgage trustee acts.
