Incaustious Boast on a Major Railroad Deal
An old railroad official recounts how a single stock holder's control of the Philadelphia Wilmington and Baltimore stock enabled a Pennsylvania victory. Robert Garrett of Baltimore and Ohio courted the holder, an overnight pursuit to secure delivery, and Garrett later built the BB and O extension. The piece notes Vanderbilt’s death during a chat with Garrett over B and O’s New York entry.
