Aldace F. Walker

Aldace Freeman Walker (May 11, 1842 – April 12, 1901) was one of the original members of the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) when the organization was founded in 1887.

He attended Kimball Union Academy in Meriden, New Hampshire, and then Middlebury College where he graduated in 1862.

In 1869 he published a book of his experience in the war titled The Vermont Brigade in the Shenandoah Valley.

When the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad (A&P) filed for bankruptcy, Walker and John J. McCook, another executive with the Santa Fe, were appointed as the A&P's receivers in December 1895.

At this time, Walker stepped down from the Santa Fe's presidency, but remained on the Board of Directors as Chairman.
