Probe to the Bottom in Vanderbilt Deal Judgment Fight
Testimony before Examiner Weiss on the Vanderbilt deal shows Pennsylvania Railroad officers defying Dauphin County Court orders by pursuing transfer of South Pennsylvania and Beech Creek lines despite Judge Smorton’s prohibition.

The piece accuses PRR of trampling the constitution, deriding lawmakers, and warrants vindicating the commonwealth’s dignity through prompt action.
