Harriman Buys Railroad Ties in Japan and Mexico
Harriman becomes a lane buyer of railroad ties in Japan and has them delivered to Guaymas, Mexico for 54 cents in gold each. A contract for 1,500,000 ties is let and a special order of 3,100 ties has already been delivered. Through concessions from Mexico’s president last year, Harriman and New York associates plan 700 miles of road in Sonora and Sinaloa to connect with the Southern Pacific on the Arizona border, as the unusually hard wood ties are said to be well suited for railroad building in that region.
