Van Sweringen rail system falls under bankers control
A federal trade commission filing shows two Van Sweringen railroad group firms defaulted on loans from J P Morgan and Co and New York bankers. The collateral is Allegheny Corp stock, with notes in payment of interest accepted by bankers, not yet triggering title transfer or direct control of the system. The situation dates to 1931 with no change, though bankers could seize collateral if interest notes were refused.
