HIGH PRICES HIT
■ RAILWAY INCOME
' HEAVY ADVANCE IN COSTS OF
EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS
. USED BY RAILWAYS
' ■HIGH COST
( OF RAILROADING
^Writer in Railway Age Shows Hov<
; the Roads Have Suffered From
High Prices
. “The public knows that the pricet
ji>f almost ail the things it buys havi
jftdvanced greatly wilhin recent years,’
feays the Railway Age. “It apparently
does not realize that the prices ol
yiiost of the things that enter into the
post, of living of the railways have
increased much more in proportioi;
(ban the prices of commodities in gen
jpral, but this Is a fact, and it is (he
principal reason why such large ad
pances in rates are necessary. Tilt
!>ublic knows pretty well how much
£he railroad payroll has been increas
pd. Here are a few illustrations of
jtypical increases in the prices oi
filings that railways have to buy:
“A locomotive which in 1914 cost
($27,876 will now cost $75,750, an in
crease of 171 per cent. In 1914 a rail
iway had to pay only about 5 per cent
interest on the money it invested in
ja locomotive, while now it must pay
labout 71-2 per cent. Therefore, iU
nterest charges on a locomotive
(bought, six years ago were $1,394 a
ear, while on a locomotive bought
now they will be about $5,681 a year
Jin increase in fixed charges of 310 pel
pent.
: “An average box car bought in 1914
cost about $1000, while now it. would
(cost about $3000, an increase of 20(
per cent. The interest on the invest
rnent in the car in 1914 would havr
been about. $50 a year, while now il
(would be about $225 a year, an in
(crease of 350 per cent.
’ “The foregoing statistics illustrate
Ithe advances which have occurred it
khe prices of equipment and in the in
•terest that must be paid on the in
vestment, in it. The increases in the
post of constructing track and bridgei
•have not been so great but they have
'been very large;
> “In 1915 a 90 foot through girdei
• ,
jbridge I—not could be bought and installed
including masonry—for $6,427
It would cost now $15,117, an increase
pi 135 per cent. These figures are
ibased upon records of the actual ex
jpenditures phis road paid of a certain $12,550 road. mile In 191E foi
per
(merely the rail track fastenings, ties
find ballast used in the constructor
a new main track. The same ma
fterials would now cost $26,235, an in
prease of 110 per cent. For like
Masses of materials used in building
g mile of side track, including two
ain track turnouts, this road in 1915
laid $8,620. The same materials
ould now cost $16,904, an increase
jof 96 per cent.
; “One important cause of the in
trease in railway expenses is the ad
yance in the prices of all commodi
(ties and therefore in the amounts that
(the railways have to pay for loss and
damage to freight:
£ “A certain railway recently was
presented a claim for $4,511 for tht
loss 6f a carload of beef. The
(value of beef was, of course,
Jy due to the increases in prices
Su recent years. The freight earnings
(front the shipment were $113.40
(Therefore, if the railway has to pay
the entire claim it will take the rev
jeuue from forty similar carloads ol
(freight—tin entire trainload.
: “There is hardly a branch of rail
load operation in which unit costs
(have not increased 100 to 300 per cent
within the last five years.”
