Railroads Show Big Gain In February
Railway business in the United States rose in February from 1912 levels. Total operating revenues per mile reached 1015 dollars, up 5.3 percent, while expenses per mile rose 6.4 percent to 756 dollars. Net operating revenue per mile was 259 dollars, up 24 percent, with taxes at 46 dollars per mile. Operating income per mile stood at 212 dollars, an 18 percent year‑over‑year rise, though one extra day in 1912 complicates direct per‑mile comparisons.
