From 1906-07 the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) investigated the holdings of railroad magnate Edward Henry Harriman, which included the Union Pacific, Illinois Central, and Southern Pacific lines. The ICC could not find any wrongdoing that would hold up in court, but did declare that some of Harriman's business practices were not in the public interest.
