Southern Railway System fast year spent in the South $20,000,000 more than it received from the South, : tnlriCl Plowing back ; the earnings In the ten years ending- 1920 freight traffic on the Southern Railway System more than doubled. This was a vety much larger gain than was shown by the railroads of the country as a whole. The South whs growing faster than the rest of the country. The Southern had to meet the test but we had provided for such a demand. In these ten years we had expended $104,000,000 of new capital to increase the carrying capacity of our lines. Our double-track had been increased from 443 to 1,021 miles; yard tracks and sidings, ■ from 2,786 to 3,351 miles; the tractive power, of our locomotives had been increased 40 per cent; our average freight trainload had mounted from 274 to 500 tons, a notable gain in operating efficiency. I"' Of the $104,000,000 expended for additions and betterments, $21,000,000 only was ob tained by the sale of new securities. The other $83,000,000 was taken frorfi^eimings and used in the improvement of the properties. The upbuilding of the Southern Railway Sys tem to keep pace with the South has been planned with an understanding of the trans portation needs of the South by men bred in the traditions of the South to know its problems. The Southern serves the South, and it will serve the greater South of the future. THE SOUTHERN SERVES THE SOUTH i g^..-.j,»,TtrirtirinTrH'
