case of the Southern Pacific between
certain points in Nevada.
Railroad building was reported done
in forty-two states and territories and
Oklahoma leads the list with track
laid on $40 miles of new line during
the year. Texas second, with
496 miles; Arkansas is third. with 371
miles, and Indian Territory is fourth,
with 1863 miles. Georgia built 1886 miles
during the year.
In addition to these, Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri and New Mexico show returns
of over 200 miles built. and Alabama,
California, Florida, Louisiana, Michi-
gan, Minnesota, Mississippi. ohio,
Pennsylvania, Washington and West
Virginia built between 100 and 200

No steam mileage was reported from
Alaska, Delaware, Idaho. Maryland,

Returns received direct from prac-
tically every locomotive and car build
ing plant in the country show that APP
proximately 164,547 cars have been
built, including cars for use on ele-
waited railroads, but exclusive of street
and other electric cars. This Is ON
siderably the largest record which has
ever been made in the country, and ex-
ceeds by 25,542 the output for 1901.
But these figures do not include cars
built by railroads at their own shops.
OF the cars recorded approximately
1872 ,599 are for freight service and
1 ,9iS for passenger service: 161, TAI are
for domestic use and $500 are for ex-
port.
Last year the total number of cars
built was 144 1867, which exceeded by
20, 161 the recorded output for the year
1900. The 1901 figures included also

During the year 1910 locomotives
were built in the various locomotive
plants in the country, as against 1884
last year. The number for the current
year includes "A electric locomotives.
The real meaning of this figure is per-
haps best realized by calculating the
expenditure involved, which would be
nearly S4S, 900 900, if the average cost
per locomotive is assumed to be $12,-
