Opposition to the New Railroad In Pennsylvania
Edward L. Fuller testifies in a Philadelphia court filing that the Erie Railroad opposes a Delaware Valley and Kingston railroad, arguing a proposed route via the Delaware and Hudson canal offers a cheaper, direct outlet for anthracite coal and would benefit Pennsylvania miners and residents. He cites potential annual coal shipments, regional benefits, and broad support from local industries and officials.
