BIG RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION.
Atlantic Coast Line Absorbs Plant sys.,
tem-3, 900 Miles Of Road

TtiaHt'C SOaSI Line ApSorDS RANT SyS.'
tem-3, 900 Miles of Road
New York, April 3.-The Atlantic
Coast Line system of ranways has alb
sorbed the Plant system and at an
early date both the systems will be
consolidated under the name and char
ter of the Atlantic Coast Line sys-
tenn. The genral management of the
Coast Line will operate the entire sys-
tenn. all the lines of both systems be-
ing merged into one great system of
railroads, aggregating 5000 miles.
For the past month there has been
considerable talk about the consolida-
tion of these two systems. 1t was re-
ported at one time the Pennsylvania
system was at the back of the deal
and that it would absorb the Coast
Line and the Plant system. Again it
was reported that the Southern rail
way was about to OBTAIN possession OF
the two systems, and there were some
who gave credence to this report large
ly on account of the intimate traf-
tic connections established about a
y "oO "~N"ONN tAS DouIH04A anu
Plant system.
Negotiations have terminated and
the only thing that now remains to be
done to complete the formal merging
OF these two great systems is the is
suance of the actual orders that will
bring about the consolidation.
The new consolidated Coast Line
system will embrace 5000 miles of rail
road, the Plant system now exceeding
1000 miles in length and the Coast
Line having about 1000 miles in it's
present system.
