Railroads Earned Small Returns in 1916 Prosperity Masked
An editorial notes the Interstate Commerce Commission’s 1916 report shows a 5.8 percent average return on railway property, despite booming gross earnings. It cites revised estimates of 6.25 to 6.7 percent for 1917 and questions method differences, arguing true profitability appears modest when measured against investment. The piece discusses rail lines including class I and II systems and uses figures like $1.05 billion net operating income and $74,000 per mile investment to illustrate the 5.7 percent level.
