Railroads Net Income Tops One Billion in 1916

Railroads earned more than one billion dollars from operations in 1916, with nine months of ICC data suggesting a full year total near 1.098 billion. Analysts note strong gains in January through September, led by freight movements and passenger services, and expect continued growth despite year-end volatility. Officials emphasize conservative estimates and highlight major income sources such as freight, passenger, express, and dining services, plus leasing and incidental revenues. A separate note reports clergy and laity planning a convention to consider Episcopal bishop candidates for the Illinois diocese.
