GEORGIA RAILROAD
Atlanta, Ga., November 26, 1930
To Our Patrons:-
The Georgia Railroad takes this means oi' giving to all interested the reasons
for proposed changes in its passenger train service, a* operated between Camak,
Ga., and Macon, Ga., referred to in formal notice, appearing in the public prints,
of iis application to the Georgia Public Service Commission for permission tsj make
such changes.
These are many obligations, both moral aad fegal, that a Railroad must observe.
A* to .ts pas'tnger service, it is bound under the State’s regulations, to furnish a
“proper pa^enger service.” On the other hand, it is bound by the terms of the*
"Transportation Act" (Federal Law), to render an “honest, efficient and economical
management" of its business and affairs.
It is in an effort to fulfill these obligations that the Georgia Railroad is propos
ing to revise its passenger service in the di-trict referred to where, as at present
operated, the service supplied is greatly in excess of the demand, this being demon
strated by thj comparatively nominal extent to which it is being u-ed by the public
for travel, and it is, therefore, very uneconomical.
Since 1921, the volume of passenger travel on the Georgia Ruilroad has de
creased tremendously, to the extent that the present average number of passengers
handled monthly on ALL OF ITS TRAINS, is only 20.096. Comparison with 1921,
cnly ten years ago, when the monthly average was 70.660, show a DECREASE OF
50,564 PASSENGERS PER MONTH, or 71 PER CENT. Similar comparison, against
the Macon Line trains show a DECREASE OF 65 PER CENT, the number of pass
engers carried monthly on that line having decreased from a 1921 average of 7711
to an average in 1930 of ONLY 2719.
What is the cause for this ( decrease and what, i f any, is the proper remedy.
The came is easily understood and needs no elaboration. It is the Automobile
—operated both a* private and puLIic conveyance on our vastly improved highways
under conditions which, apparently, make it preferable to the train sendee since the
local trains have been pratically abandoned by a majority of the travelers.
As to the remedy. Since the passenger train sendee at present operated has,
as its base, conditions prevailing many years ago, when the railroad supplied the
principal means for quick and convenient travel between the communities served
by it, and since conditions have now so materially changed that extensive/ facilities
for travel, locally, by rail, are apparently no longer required, the loss from such
diminished travel and use can, in a measure at least, be made up by a proper dis
continuance of surplus service and rearrangement of a pioperly curtailed service to
it may best perform the limited function remaining for it.
Being faced with the necessity .to economize in all branches of its service, in
order that the whole structure may not be jeopardized through waste in any one
branch, or locality where service is so clearly in excess of the necessities and re
quirements, the Georgia Railroud has given careful consideration to fell of these
factors and has endeavored to offer, as a substitute for the excess now supplied, a
service which will advance the movement and delivery of mail and express matter;
also provide a means for travel by train for the limited number of persons now
using train sendee, and it trusts that a consideration of this expfanation of its
undertaking, and the conditions making it necessary, will satisfy its patrons of the
property of a ruling the Public Service Commission favorable thereto.
The cost of train service, as at present operated, on basis “out of pocket" items
only and not including anyth™ for um a return on investment in equipment,
depreciation, aupervialon and o'her overhead expense, is S7.B27 per mopth. The
revenue from paaaongcr* using the eervice ia only *2.829 per month, and compenaa.
tion received for handling of mail, ia only $890 per month, making gro.a. income,
from both pasaengera and mail, only *3719 per month. It ia proper to atato, there,
fore, -that the lo,,. incident to the operation of thia little uaed aerviee i, exoe»a,ve.
