Cost of stopping trains on Ohio rail lines debated
The Wall Street Journal reports on Chicago and Baltimore & Ohio memos showing stopping a passenger train at Ohio stations costs 135 to 185 cents, about 160 cents per stop, with seventeen stops totaling 27.50. Coal use and wheel, shoe, and rail wear drive the expense, while some say Willard's figures are too low and overstate the per-passenger burden.
