RAILWAY AGE SPEAKS
WELL OF ROCK ISLAND

Discussing the annual report of
the Rock Island railroad. the Rail
way Age Gazette has this to say:
Its service is fully UP 10 that of
its competitors and its physical con-
dition is as good as most of its COM
petitors. but the traffic officers Of the
road are hampered because Of lack
OF facilities belonging to the Rock
Island and actually lying within
some big cities.
ON the other hand. at Chicago,
the Rock Island road enters the city
in such a way that II can deliver
freight TO all Of the eastern roads,
an advantage held by no other west
ern road.
During the year $50 new indus
tries, estimated TO cost nearly Sl2,-
100000 and TO furnish $4,000 car
loads OF revenue freight, were To-
Gated on the Rock Island lines, and
during the year industrial sidetracks
were built to six great mines and
10 private industries"
