in proportion to its eheapness, it has always
been found to be to the interest of railroads and
steamboats, to put the rate of passage at as low fig
urc as possible, consistent with profit. Permit me,
therefore, through your journal, to recommend to
the attention of railroad managers, the following
statement from the "American Railway Times" The
Times says it was prepared by one of the most expe
rienced and intelligent managers:
Cost drumming Passenger Train 40 Passengers 100 miles
locomotive power, % cents per mile. '.... $50 %
ono b b5 car ' . M
One conductor, S2per day one brakeman, 81 90
81 100
The cost of a train with passengers is estimated
at $50; for 70 passengers, $5l.
The Times adds: "A large engine will draw on any
road, not exceeding forty feet grade 100 tons in
addition to the cars; and as II passengers, with their
baggage, usually estimated to be ton full train
of cars with 240 passengers amounts to only II tons.
The difference in fuel required to draw one Or three
so small as not to be susceptible of calculatons
the above calculation be correct, is it not suicidal
policy for our railroad managers to charge passengers
8 and cents per mile. Q.
