TIME is money" says the old proverb; but
i never in the history OF the world has 1t been
illustrated torcIblv than IN present day rdl-
reading The relative value OF a minute IN tune
as measured by the railroads IN their recent stu
pcndous task Of cycling mountains, bridging
streams and cutting through tunnels, can be placed
at approximately million dollars. In the last
ten wears the leading railroad lines OF the Coun-
try have spent upward of eight hundred million dol
lars engineering work To- eliminate the time factor
and they have saved thereby something like thirteen
or fourteen hours in their regular schedules. making
the approximate cost Of each minute gained an
average Of one million dollars.
In the early raIroadIng DAYS the survey OF a new
line always followed the line OF least resistance
mountain avoided as far as possible by skirtlnS
round its base; a wide river was crossed at It's mar
point by running many miles out OF straight
course to avoid the construction OF extensive
bridges, terminals cities were located where land
cheap even though To reach them a lew extra
miles Of winding track had to be built; and lead
ing city would often lee tapped in roundabout
way in order to take IN a few smaller towns scat
tered IN irregular group along given route.
As result OF this policy the present day railroad
managers inherited some excellent specimens OF
crooked lines, miles OF heavy grades, tortuous
routes which seemed TO wind round like the coils
of a whip lash. and curves sharp that reduced
speed was necessary 10 travel over them. Speed,
the KEYNOTE of the modern century was impossible
of achievement under such conditions.
