Pacific railroad bill shapes route from Fort Worth to San Diego
Senate debate on the Texas and Pacific line outlines a route from Fort Worth through New Mexico and Arizona to the Colorado river near Fort Yuma then via the Sierra Nevadas to San Diego. The plan imposes milestones for 700 miles of track, bond guarantees, and a 50 year, 5 percent interest regime with wide government security. The report notes ample securities and cites rising concerns about judiciary committee power and potential political maneuvering in the Republican Senate.
