Railways In 1904 Show Heavy Receivers and Decline in Profits
Washington June 16 Interstate Commerce Commission report for year ending June 90 1804 shows two essential problems the vast share of capitalization held by courts and a sharp drop in earnings. It notes 19% roads under receivers and widespread reorganizations as 15 roads totaling 1744 miles abandoned and 14 consolidated. Total railway mileage 178708 with 7707 roads in operation. Passenger traffic rose due to the Columbian exposition while freight fell sharply with reduced tonnage and revenue. Net income weakened though dividends remained substantial. The report urges fuller reporting from carriers and depot owners and questions freight pricing practices.
