In The DAYS News

w. J.. Harahan. who has been elected
president of the Chesapeake & Ohio and
the Hooking Valley Railroad companies,
is a product of the South, born in Nash
vile, Tenn, in 1867. He began his rail-
road career at the bottom, as an appren-
tice boy in the Louisville and Nashville
shops, at Louisville, Ky. Since 1856 his
work has been confined largely TO the
engineering and operating departments
of the various railroads with which he
has been connected. In 1892 he entered
the operating department of the Illinois
Central and in the course Of time became
general manager and. vice president of
that road. He left the Illinois Central
in 1907 to 20 with the Erie railroad and
five years later he was chosen preSi-
dent of the Seaboard Air Line railway.
Mr.. HaTahan has many important pieces
Of engineering and construction work to
his credit, one of the most notable being
the four-track entrance of the Erie rail
road into New York city.
