<em>The Northern Securities Company</em> was formed in the year 1901 in the state of New Jersey. It was the merging of holdings of the following railroad companies: Northern Pacific Railway, Great Northern Railway, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad.
<em>This merger created a monopoly that monopolized the railway traffic between Chicago and the Northwest.</em>
