Dismissal Asked By Wheeling for Control Petitions
The Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad asked the Interstate Commerce Commission to dismiss three applications by other railroads seeking control. The Wheeling, owned by the Allegany corporation and Nickel Plate railroad, with stock held by a trustee, argues Nickel Plate ownership could restrain competition. It also cites that Wabash seeks to purchase the machine, and such control would not be in the public interest. The Wheeling notes the Wabash is 49 percent owned by the Pennsylvania system.
