The Reading Railroad 1892-1893: Combination to Collapse
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Oregon Scholars' Bank Brunk 1 The Reading Railroad 1892-1893: Combination to Collapse David Brunk The Panic of 1893 began a depression that lasted into 1897. Theories for the cause of the Panic have included an inadequate money supply, a European depression, and a hit to national credit caused by the passage of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act. Historians have pointed more generally to over speculation, under consumption, or even unavoidable economic law as the cause of the Panic.1 What initially triggered the Panic, however, was the collapse of the Reading Railroad in February 1893. Just one year before the collapse the Reading nearly secured a monopoly when it combined with two other companies to control the production and transportation of 50-60 percent of the anthracite coal used by northeastern cities. The company’s bold president Archibald A. McLeod earned the nickname, “the Napoleon of railroad combination.”2 But from the anthracite combination in February 1892 to the collapse in February 1893, the President extended the company’s credit too far, estranging its most powerful financier, John Pierpont Morgan. The result was stock market collapse, receivership, and McLeod’s resignation. During much of the nineteenth century, Americans in the Northeast relied on anthracite coal to heat their homes. Approximately 477 square miles within eastern Pennsylvania produced all the anthracite coal used by the population centers along the northeastern coast. People referred to this coal-producing region as the Anthracite Region, and the coastal population centers as Tidewater. -

Contributing Organizations The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) wishes to thank the many railroad historical organizations and individuals who contributed to the development of this document, which will update continually. Ann Arbor Railroad Technical and Historical Association Blue Water Michigan Chapter-National Railway Historical Society Detroit People Mover Detroit Public Library Grand Trunk Western Historical Society HistoricDetroit.org Huron Valley Railroad Historical Society Lansing Model Railroad Club Michigan Roundtable, The Lexington Group in Transportation History Michigan Association of Railroad Passengers Michigan Railroads Association Peaker Services, Inc. - Brighton, Michigan Michigan Railroad History Museum - Durand, Michigan The Michigan Railroad Club The Michigan State Trust for Railroad Preservation The Southern Michigan Railroad Society S O October 13, 2014 Dear Michigan Residents: For more than 180 years, Michigan’s railroads have played a major role in the economic development of the state. This document highlights many important events that have occurred in the evolution of railroad transportation in Michigan. This document was originally published to help celebrate Michigan’s 150th birthday in 1987. A number of organizations and individuals contributed to its development at that time. The document has continued to be used by many since that time, so a decision was made to bring it up to date and keep the information current. Consequently, some 28 years later, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has updated the original document and is placing it on our website for all to access. As you journey through this history of railroading in Michigan, may you find the experience both entertaining and beneficial. MDOT is certainly proud of Michigan’s railroad heritage.
