N W seeks three way deal to control Ohio line
N W president Stuart T Saunders testified at an Interstate Commerce Commission hearing that the Norfolk and Western plans to acquire control of Akron Canton and Youngstown would yield $518000 annual tax before income and improve efficiency. AC&Y executives backed the $6.5 million purchase and said the move would strengthen AC&Y while preserving its corporate identity with Akron as headquarters. The plan hinges on approval of a broader N W Nickel Plate Wabash merger as rail systems consolidate into three giants. The AC&Y runs 229 miles across Ohio from Delphi to Mogadore linking with Nickel Plate at four points.
