THE COST OF STOPPING
railroad Men Figure that Frequent
Hnlts of Trains Increase Running
Expenses Immensely.

The railroads in Ohio have been max
ing II vigorous campaign for higher
passenger rates in that state. and their
officials have brought forward all kinds
Of statistics for the consideration OF the
legislative committee that is hearing
the case. President Willard. of the
baltimore and ohio road, submitted
some figures that are very interesting.
In the paper he submitted the aSScr
ton is made that it costs from Sl.3a To
Sl.S' 10 stop passenger train a; a
station on the ohio roads. or at an
average of about Sl.G0 Il stop. In other
words with Il train making seventeen
stops there would he cost to the
railroad Of S27.3o for starting and stop
ping alone. Among the items entering
into the cost of stopping n train The
most important is coal. as when a train
is stopped the aivhvalics arc applied
and the coal is used IL generate the
steam which congresses the air.
There is great wear and tear on
equipment because of these stopparcS.
and the ear wheels. the brake shoes and
tn" rails are worn away because OF
fliction. In starting after a stop there
Is great cXrcnditr:vc of steam in get
ting under Roadway. and there is more
wear and tear on equipment. Some
railroad men say that President Will
lards figures are too low. and that
taking the train with seventeen stops
1t would require at least thirty through
passengers 10 pay for the cost Of STRAIT
ing and stopping the train.
