Note 34 — Chapter II · THE THEORY OF RAILROAD RATES
Reading edition
The sharp decline in traffic in 1911, especially after the suspended advance of rates, as affecting maintenance expenditures per mile of road, is shown as follows:
1911 1910
Baltimore & Ohio $5931 $6336
Union Pacific 3296 3363
Great Northern 2375 2653
New York Central 8681 8087
Northern Pacific 2451 3413
Pennsylvania 9088 9792
Multiplying these differences into thousands of miles of line shows the great economy resulting.
