Frederick Fraley became the president of Schuylkill Navigation in 1847. He inherited the boat loan structure of 1845. That structure was originally developed in an effort to repopulate the navigation with coal boats after their near total destruction by a massive flood. Under the new financing structure, SNC borrowed money and gave it to a trust that acquired boats and railroad cars and leased them to SNC. SNC subleased the boats to boat captains.
By 1863, through five remarkably innovative iterations, Fraley transformed the boat loan trust from a collateral holder into an independent business unit. It borrowed and lent money, owned boats, cars, locomotives, and, eventually, financial assets, leased boats to captains, provided collateral for, and paid, other SNC debt, and engaged in mergers, among other activities. In addressing SNC's 1852 receivership and the boat loan structure, the Pennsylvania legislature, for the first time, defined equipment finance and its limited recourse features. From desperation, debt, and default, equipment finance was born.In 1868 and 1869, Lehigh Coal & Navigation transformed the boat loan into the car and equipment trust, incorporating an installment payment structure it used since the 1832 cholera pandemic. The idea for the transformation was planted in the mind of Edward W. Clark, a financier that became president of Lehigh C&N in an effort to rescue the faltering company. The structure was given shape by the Philadelphia lawyer, Charles Gibbons. Did Mendes Cohen make a contribution to the new structure?In 1871, the Central Railroad of New Jersey leased LC&N, taking control of the LC&N car and equipment trusts. The CNJ soon replicated the trusts in four new financings, acquiring thousands of rail cars as it became a leading transporter of Pennsylvania coal to New York. The trust and its documents became the Philadelphia Plan of equipment finance and survive to the present as one of the two dominant structures.These are stories told in this volume.
