CENTRAL OF GEORGIA TELLS OF IMPROVED
CONDITIONS IN THIS TERRITORY
Improved conditions in the territory served by the Central of Georgia Railway Company are strik
ingly reflected in the increased traffic handled by the road.
The Central of Georgia Railway Company showed an increase in freight business for 1922. Freight
traffic (measured by the number of tons of freight carried 1 mile) increased only 9 3-4 per cent for all
of the class I railroads in 1922 as compared to 1921, but the Central of Georgia registered an increase of
13 2-3 per cent.
This increase in freight business made possible the Central of Georgia’s favorable showing in total
operating revenues for 1922 in the face of the fact that on the average freight rates were lower than in
1921. The revenue in 1923 for hauling a ton of freight one mile is 1-9 —loo cents, a reduction of 17.4 oer
cent from the revenue received in 1922 which was 1-32—100 cents. Since the first of this year the traffic
of the Central of Georgia Railway Company, both freight and passenger has increased substantially ov
er that handled for the corresponding period of last year. The number of tons of freight carried one mile
by the Central of Georgia Railway Company for the 7 months ended July 31, 1923, was greater by 46 1-3
per cent than freight traffic handled in the first 7 months in 1922. Passenger traffic (measured by num
ber of passengers carried one mile) on the Central of Georgia Railway in the 7 months ended July 31,
1923, was greater by 12 7-8 per cent than the passenger traffic handled in the first 7 months in 1922.
In September, 1922, we established a new record for volume of business handled, surpassing the pre
vious peak recorded in October, 1920. During each month of the past twelve our business has exceeded
the high mark of any preceding year. The Central of Georgia Railway Company enters the fall and win
ter better prepared than ever before to discharge its obligations to the public.
Despite the growth of passenger and freight traffic in its territory, the Central of Georgia Railway
Company has kept abreast of the situation so well, through additions and improvements to its plant and
through the splendid co-operation of its employees and patrons that this year’s unprecedented business
has been handled with marked efficiency. One index of efficiency is the “average miles per car per day.”
On the Central of Georgia this figure has been more than 30 during the entire past year, and in Septem
ber, the month just closed, it reached 35 miles—a record not equaled by any other railway in this terri
tory, and by few roads in the United States. “30 miles per car per day” was fixed by the American Rail
way Association as the goal of efficient operation to be reached by the railroads this year. It is a source
of no little satisfaction to us that the Central of Georgia has gone beyond this figure. The public should
understand that “miles per car per day” does not represent the actual distance traveled by a freight car
in n train. It takes into account the total number of cars" on the line—those being loaded and unloaded,
those standing at terminals and in sidings, even those in the shops for repairs. These latter classes aver
age more than 57 per cent of the total. As a matter of fact, the average speed of all freight trains,
through and local, on the Central of Georgia in September, 1923, was 13 miles per hour.
This exceptional showing speaks for itself. It should be a source of gratification to the patrons as
well ns the employees of the Central of Georgia Railway Company. It represents joint effort and joint
success. No small part of the credit goes to the shippers and consignees for their prompt loading and
unloading of cars. It is not alone a gain for our railroad; it is a splendid record for the territory our rail
oad serves.
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.

President, Central of Georgia Railway Company.
