Ramsey's plans derided by railroad men in New York
The Washington Fest report quotes a New York railroad official calling Joseph Ramsey Jr.’s proposed New York to Chicago railroad “absurd on its face.” He says traffic between New York and Pittsburg is congested, Ramsey controls several small roads, and the $150,000,000 price is ludicrous given rolling stock, rights of way, terminal costs, and construction. Other railroad men deem the project impossible and ridicule the cost.
