Book Synopsis The Railroad Situation in the United States (Classic Reprint) by : L. W. Serrell
Download or read book The Railroad Situation in the United States (Classic Reprint) written by L. W. Serrell. This book was released on 2018-11-12. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Railroad Situation in the United States The purpose of this article is to show why such new security issues are necessary, and whether or not they are to the disadvantage of the shareholder. The reports published by the various railroad companies contain the expression Miles of road operated and then proceed to show the gross earn ings and net earnings per mile. This expression is very misleading, as it refers usually to the length of the road and makes no allowance for the miles of second, third or fourth track, sidings or terminal facilities which are just as necessary for the opera tion of the road as the original track. At the same time, the construction of such additional tracks is made necessary to handle the equipment required for the business moving over the line, and securities, either stock or bonds, must, from time to time, be issued to provide funds for the construction of the same. In order to properly analyze a railroad report and make comparisons, it is necessary to consider the entire mileage of the railroad - whether it be main track, second track, sidings or what not - and figure the earnings per mile of track, as the entire mileage is covered by the Capital account upon which earnings are expected to pay interest.

Book Synopsis Fair Play by : Frederick S. Mordaunt
Download or read book Fair Play written by Frederick S. Mordaunt. This book was released on 2017-01-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fair Play: A Clean Honest Statement of the Railroad and Transportation Situation This book and its contents are its own introductory. Fair play, dear to the heart of every American citizen, will need no introduction. All that is asked for it is honest thought and fair play. I hold no brief from the railroads to plead their cause, but my close association for many years with railroads and railroad officials have placed me in a position to know the inner working much better, more truthfully and positively more honestly than the muck-raker, the muck-writer and the yellow press, the unprincipled politician and the selfish shipper. Therefore all I ask for the contents of this book is fair consideration and for the book itself, fair play.
