The Interstate Commerce
Commission today authorized
sale of the Washington & Old
Dominion Railroad in nearby
Virginia to Chesapeake g. Ohio
Railway Co. for approximately
$450,O0O.
Since 1885, w. & o. D. has
been wholly owned by Davis
Elkins, former Senator from
West Virginia now living in Flor
ida.
The ICC said C. g. o. stated
lit did not propose a merger or
consolidation with w. a. o. d.,
nor did the larger railroad IN
tend to operate or acquire track
age rights over the properties of
w. g. o. d. Thus, the little line
that started before the Civil War
will continue to be operated as
a separate railroad.
The ICC order authorizes c.
IL o. to issue up to $3.50 shares
of SIS par value common stock
to be exchanged for $50 shares
of capital stock Of w. a. o. D.
The exchange ratio. the ICC
said, was based by c. g. o. on a
total value OF S450.000 for
w. a. Cd. and a price of $3.50
for w. a. obs common stock.
w. g. Cd. was started before
the Civil War as part OF the
Southern Railway. 1t had been a
separate corporation for more
than 20 years. Southern had
filed a petition to intervene in

small line. but Withdrew.
