A New York report on Joseph Ramsey Jr and his projected New York to Chicago railroad drew firm skepticism from a railroad official. He called the $150,000,000 price absurd, noting traffic limits between New York and Pittsburgh and the high costs of rights of way rolling stock and terminals. Railroad men felt Ramsey’s scheme impossible and questioned the large capital need.
