Railroads claim big sums lost and costs keep growing
Washington reports that the United States Railroad Administration remains in existence 18 months after private railways returned to owners. It employs 1,300 people and costs taxpayers about 4 million dollars yearly. Officials say its function is to settle war era claims, with at least half a billion dollars still unadjusted. Critics argue for cuts and a firm cutoff date for new claims, noting possible private interests among the current administration's personnel.
