August 25, 1972 – Supreme Court Justice Harry A.
Blackman refuses to block the merger of the Illinois Central Railroad and the
Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad. The
Missouri Pacific Railroad had claimed that the proposed merger would create a
near-monopoly that would cripple it. The
merger, which had occurred on August 10 gives the new Illinois Central Gulf
Railroad control of 13,532 miles of track.
