J. P. Morgan becomes active in railroads following the crash, reorganizing several lines in the East.
The Northern Pacific Railway goes bankrupt in the great depression of 1893.
A complex financial battle ensues to take control of the railroad, because bankruptcy wipes out the bondholders and it is now free of debt.
A compromise is reached involving Morgan, New York financier E. H. Harriman and St. Paul railroad builder James J. Hill.
