Santa Fe Plans $390 Million Capital Push in 1963
Ernest S. Marsh, president of the Santa Fe Railway System, announced a 1963 program of capital expenditures totaling 390 million. The plan adds 58 diesel locomotives, 3,600 freight cars, 24 bi level passenger cars, 25 semi lightweight baggage cars, and six RPO cars, plus track upgrades and new microwave links from Amarillo to Winslow. Freight revenues are seen rising slightly, with net income for 1962 up due to tax factors and new depreciation rules. Marsh cites Kennedy's 1962 Transportation Message urging removal of minimum rate controls to boost rail competitiveness.
