Railroads Need $5.5 Billion for Track Buildout
President J J Hill of the Great Northern sends a letter to Governor Johnson outlining a national railroad crisis. He cites an 18 percent rise in freight since 1895 but only a 2 percent gain in track, urging immediate $5.5 billion for track construction and a 15 foot canal from St Louis to New Orleans, plus decentralization of terminals. He warns that without funding, industries will halt as investors fear confiscation and political risk. He presents Interstate Commerce Commission data showing track, locomotive, and car increases lag behind demand, creating a massive freight backlog across terminals and regions. He stresses the need for confidence and rapid action to avert a nationwide industrial standstill.
