Railroads face rising costs and weak returns on new investment
The piece notes 25 000 New York Central workers laid off and 35 roads adding capital since 1910, investing over 659 million dollars. Despite higher gross earnings, net returns lag previous levels by 16.5 million, signaling insufficient profits to support further private capital for needed equipment and facilities. It argues for stronger private investment to sustain commerce growth and rail capacity. It also cites The Panama Canal's impact on U S export and import traffic and urges U S traffic interests to accelerate preparation for canal use.
