Susquehanna and Jefferson division stays put at Erie HQ
Industrial notes report the Susquehanna and Jefferson division of the Erie railroad remaining at its current headquarters. The Lehigh Valley directors revise annual meeting plans to Philadelphia offices with Musical Fund Hall as a backup venue. A New York coal meeting notes William Joyce’s opposing stance and a potential pool to form an iron road alliance. Reading security outlook remains bleak with possible bond restructuring and equity sacrifices anticipated.
