The Elements of Cost of Railroad Freight Traffic
The subject of determining the cost of railroad transportation is seemingly a very simple one. So simple, that to one unacquainted with the subject, it doubtless appears capable of easy solution, after a brief investigation. And, indeed, when at the close of the year, the report of a railway company is published, it is comparatively an easy matter to reduce its whole business to an average number of passengers and of tons of freight transported one mile, and to ascertain approximately the average charges and cost of each.
