Railroads Trim Costs. Private Operation Shows Narrow Return

Names and figures reflect carriers cutting transportation costs, equipment upkeep, and wages to weather deficits. The piece cites workforce reductions from 2,107,000 to 1,642,000 by spring, with ongoing disputes over wages and benefits as retrenchment continues.
