Northern Securities Company
The company was formed in 1901 to effect a consolidation of ownership that avoided formal merger of the two systems. In the landmark Northern Securities Case decision (1904), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the arrangement was a violation of the anti-trust acts and its consolidating aspects were nullified. The company continued to exist until 1938, managing the stock of certain smaller jointly held subsidiaries, namely the CB&Q Railroad and the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company.
