Geschichte |
Die Bahn entstand 1870 aus der Fusion der Union Pacific Railroad mit drei weiteren Bahnen. Zehn Jahre später geriet die als „Katy“ bezeichnete Bahn unter die Kontrolle von Jay Gould. Dieser plünderte die Bahn in den folgenden acht Jahren regelrecht aus. 1891 übernahm dann eine Gruppe um John D. Rockefeller das Unternehmen und machte es zu einer der führenden Bahnen im Süden der USA. William Rockefeller (1841-1922) war der Bruder von John D. Rockefeller und einer der Begründer der Standard Oil. Zudem war er Trustee bei der Standard Oil Trust und später President der Standard Oil of New York. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Geschichte (Englisch) |
The railway company was created by merger of the Union Pacifica Railroad with three other railways in 1870. Jay Gould got the Katy under his control ten years later. He plundered the company in the following eight years. John D. Rockefeller and some friends took over control of the company in 1891. They expanded the railway company to one of the leading railways in the southern part of the USA. William Rockefeller (1841-1922) was the brother of John D. Rockefeller and one of the founders of Standard Oil. In addition, he was the trustee in the Standard Oil Trust and later president of Standard Oil of New York. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
