After working as an office boy and then a stockbroker on Wall Street, he began his career in railroad management as an executive with the Illinois Central.

Hill for control of the Northern Pacific led to one of Wall Street's most serious financial crises. The railway trust Harriman formed with J.P. Morgan was dissolved by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1904. His son W. Averell Harriman joined the company in 1915 (chairman 1932-46) and was active in politics; he was elected governor of New York (1954-58) and served the U.S. government as a representative and diplomat in Europe, the Far East, and the Soviet Union
