RAILWAYS HAD SMALL
INCREASES IN 1914

The new railroad trackagc built in 1914
totaled 1532 miles. which is the smallest
mileage built in any year except 1925. of
which the Railway Age Gazette has any
records. its records extending back TO
include 1893. In 1893, 3,OI1 miles Of road
were built. and in 1902, which is the best
year of which there is any record, 6,026
miles wree built Nineteen-fourteen is
tho first year in which more railroad
was built in Canada than in the United
States. the total first-traCk built in 1914
in Canada amounting to 1873 miles.
There were RS locomotives built in
1914, which is a smaller number than in
any year since 1898. In 1913, 5,332 locOmo-
tives were built.

of steam railroad in the hands OF re-
ceivers, with total outstanding stock

the greatest in any single year of which
