Railway Revenues in 1915
Show a Drop of $123,OOO,OOO.
Operating Expenses Show
Still Greater Reduction.
ECONOMY WAS THE CAUSE
Increase i'm Net Income of EigA-
teen Millions Due to This.
Other Items of General Interest
in the Traffic World.

With gross revenues from operation
for the year ended June so, 1915,
more than $123,000,000 below those
for the preceding year and nearly
s20O.O0O,O0O (s196,7 2S,0OO) under
those of two years ago, the railways
of the United States through the
adoption of the most eXacting econo-
mics were able to show an increase
in net operating income of nearly S19,-
100000 over that for 1914. But the
student has to go back to the disas-
troUs period following the panic of
1907 to find another year in which
the net income of the railways was
not larger than in 1915. In the mean
time-and here is the whole situation
the operated mileage has increased
from 227,454 to 255, $40 miles, 49,,
SO miles of operated line, and the net
capital investment has increased from
s5S.29S per mile in 1907 to $4,000 in
1915.
These figures mean that with nearly
three million dollars larger invess-
ment in 1915 than in 1907 the rail-
ways had approximately $25,o00,00O
less net income to take care of it.
The tabulation of the Bureau of
Railway News and Statistics, giving
the gross operating revenues of the
railways by months for the fiscal years
1908 to 1915 inclusive, with totals
for half years. serves as a mirror in
which is reflected the business con-
ditions in the United States for the
past eight years. Between the low
ebb in February, 1908 and the high
tide in October. 1912, there is a diff
ference of $14f,oOO,OO0 in gross
monthly receipts. Its chief signifi
canoe is that it marks the fluctuation
in traffic for which the railroads
have to be prepared. Even between
the highest and lowest record for Oc-
tober. the big month of the year, there
is a difference of s7O.O0O.OOO, which
is more than equded by that of Feb
ruary. 1908 and February, 1913.
For the first half of the last fiscal
year there was a startling recession
in railway revenues of over SOS, 000,-
600 Since New Years, however,
there has been a slow recovery re-
sulting in a higher gross for May
and June over the corresponding
months of 1914, but considerably be-
low the gross for the same months in
1918. For the second six months of |
the fiscal year 1915, the loss in gross |
revenues was less than $15,00O,00O |
making a total decrease for the year |
of over s123, 100000.
