RAILROAD TRAVEL


GROWING SAFER.
Thirty years ago. MIR. Average Ameri-
can, you took eight annual railway Jour
neys, and now you take twelve. Then
you rode "A miles each trip, and now
you 20 3S miles. Notwithstanding you
ride half as many more times now, half
again farther each trip and doubtless
spend half as much more time in rail
way travel, yet the danger to your life
Is less than half az great as it use to be
If you have ridden once in the last 80
years, your chances OF being killed were
one in 9l,O0O,O ,OOO Or, if you have ta-
ken one trip each year during that per
lod, you came as near losing your life as
one is near to 2,760, 600 One ride taken
last year imposed hazard on your life
Of only one ia 5,673, 900, and on your
twelve customary journeys, you we're as
far from jeopardy as 473,OOO is greater
than ]. Altogether the railways of the
United States carried in 1920 about
300, 100000 passengers, with one killed
for each group Of ) ,673, 900 carried, while
IN total OF 472,OOO,O 900 people carried in
1889, the death rate was one in ,523,- =
900. The danger to life of railway ira
veers in 1920 was therefore less than
one-thrd Of what it was in 1889. most of
the reduction accruing since 1907. To
be sure, there have been bad years, also
exceptionally good years, but the gen
erai trend throughout the whole period
has been decidedly towards the increas.
ing safety of the travelling public.
The foregoing figures are the result of
statistics compiled by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
