Edward H. Harriman

Edward H. Harriman was America's rail baron. Harriman's empire started with the purchase of an upstate New York short-line railroad in 1881. Harriman expanded nationally with a high-volume, low-cost strategy, and eventually over the Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific railroads. Harriman's railroad company was dissolved by the Supreme Court in 1904.
