Powerful Railroad Groups In Merger For Control Of The West
Powerful railroad groups mobilize for a race to control western transport. Reports say the Chicago and Alton merger with the Katy system and Union Pacific’s purchase of Central Pacific are under discussion in Kansas City, Chicago, and St. Louis. If completed, Chicago to Gulf passenger and freight service would shorten routes, intensifying Southwest competition for Santa Fe. Frisco and Texas & Pacific merger talks are less certain.
