Western Pacific scheme grows from Huntington funds
San Francisco aviation rumors aside, a New York financier asserts that the Western Pacific railroad from San Francisco to Salt Lake City is being financed mainly by Mrs Collis P Huntington, with Henry K Huntington and E W Hawley and B F Yoakum among key backers. The plan envisions a full system to the Gulf of Mexico via Galveston, Fort Worth, Denver and connections to Chicago, with possible use of the Rio Grande Western route or a new line.
