	Van Sweringen brothers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1909 the Van Sweringen brothers began exercising options on 1,399 acres of land formerly owned by the North Union Community of the Society of Believers, better known as the Shakers.
		The Van Sweringens realized that, if their plans for a Public Square station were to succeed, they would have to include all the electric railways -- streetcars, rapid transit and interurban lines -- as well as local freight and warehousing facilities.
		Orris was quoted as saying "I don’t know what to do, or how to do it, or where to go from here." O.P. Van Sweringen died on November 22, 1935.

		John J. Bernet was asked by the Van Sweringens in 1916 to leave the New York Central and take over the helm of the Nickel Plate Road a position he gladly accepted.
		The principal item in the Van Sweringens' empire was the Nickel Plate Road and they drafted proposals to merge C&O, NKP, Erie, Hocking Valley and Pere Marquette to form a fourth eastern system of the magnitude of New York Central, Pennsylvania, and Baltimore & Ohio.
		By 1929 the Van Sweringens also hoped to include the Wheeling & Lake Erie, the DL&W, and Chicago & Eastern Illinois, the last to furnish a connection with the Missouri Pacific, in which they held a sizeable interest.
