Canal Abandonment urged for Morris Canal by railroad officials
Three former governors appointed to study canal abandonment have received the Delaware Lackawanna & Western Railroad's opinion. They concur with Morris Canal and Banking Company that waterway should close. General counsel Walter M. Ross explains engineering issues and risks of lowering tracks at canal crossings. Railroad plans to remove all crossings near Hoboken and Newark require canal removal for safety and city developments. The commission is invited to tour the rail line with officials to review the situation.
