(CENTRAL RAILWAY
HAS GOOD YEAR
1925 Proves Successful, Says
President Downs.
According to President L. A.
Downs, the year just closing, 1925,
was in many respects the most suc
cessful in the long history of the
Central of Georgia Railway. A
greater volume of traffic was han
dled than in any other year. The
revenue tonnage in the past ten
years has more than doubled, being
122 per cent, greater than it was
in 1915.
But something more was ac
complished than the handling of the
greatest volume of business ever of
fered by shippers. This record traf
fic was moved with the greatest
efficiency and economy ever attain
ed by this railroad.
This sor tof record is an important
achievement. It did not come about by
chance. It was due to the combi
nation of a number of factors. Large
expenditures are continually being
made by the owners of the property
for additoinal facilities and equip
ment. During the past few years,

124 large and powerful locomotives
and thousands of freight cars have
been added to the equipment. In
1925 twenty locomotives and two
thousand freight cars were ordered.
During the past few years the Al
’ bany District has practically been re
built, the ballasting of the Savannah
Division has been completed, the
yard and shop facilities at Columbus
1 have been greatly enlarged and im-
I proved, and the shops at* Savannah
i have been modernized. This year
has witnessed the practical completion
'of the largest single project ever
: undertaken by the Central of Ga.—
i the reconstruction of the Birming
; ham-Columbus line at a cost above
; five million dollars. All of this has
! brought the transportation plant up
to a high standard and has given the
• employes the benefit of perfected
•, machine with which to work.
- j The extent of the 1925 business
: and the efficiency and economy with
which it was handled are in large
j part due to the co-operation and
loyal support of the employes of this
' railway. Futhermore, it would have
’ been impossible to establish these
•' records without the co-operation of
;■ the people. Jhe shipping and travel-
■ ing public have shown a better and
■ ; broader understanding of transpor
, ' tation matters.
