Robert Morris Land and Coal Sues Reading Railroad
The Robert Morris Land and Coal Company filed the largest realty suit in state history against the Reading Railroad and Reading Coal and Iron Company. The action seeks a receiver and injunction over 8.49 acres of coal lands in Northumberland County with claims of insolvent filings and forged titles dating to 1793, plus alleged timber losses and a broader anti trust motive in the anthracite market. The case also targets rents and profits from the lands and potential discovery orders.
