VOSBURGH New York REPORT To the Stockholders of THE NEW YOKE CENTRAL AND HUDSON RIVER RAILROAD COMPANY: The Board of Directors herewith submits its report for the year ended December 31, 1912, with statements showing the results for the year and the financial condition of the company. The mileage embraced in the operation of the road is as follows: .Main line and brandies owned 80549 Proprietary lines 3-06 Lines leased* 2,026 13 Lines operated under contract 8L70 Trackage rights 274'27 Total road operated 3,790'65 Of the total road operated,, 290'7J miles arc operated in freight service only and 14'96 miles arc operated in passenger service only. The decrease of mileage of leased lines is due to abandonment of part of the Pardee branch of the Beech Creek Railroad and a change of alinement of the main line of the same railroad. The difference in the reported mileage of road operated under trackage rights is caused by a careful revision of previously reported figures by the engineering authorities of the various railroads interested. A statement showing the total miles of road and track operated will be found on another page. The standard form of income account promulgated by the Interstate Commerce Com• mission was adopted by this company on July 1, 1912. No revision of figures for the previous year nor for the first six months of the year covered by this report has been made and, therefore, some of the comparisons between the years 1911 and 1912 are somewhat distorted. The accounts principally affected by this change of form are "taxes accrued," part of the taxes which were previously charged to this account being now shown in 'miscellaneous tax accruals" in the "deductions from gross corporate income" and •'miscellaneous income" from which have been transferred to "miscellaneous rents" the amounts receivable as rental of property not used in the operation of the road. •The Dunkirk Allegheny Valley am! l'ittsburgh Railroad, 1HV51 miles, is also leased by this company, but in mileage and operations are not included in this report. Separate accounts arc kept and independent return-* prepared in LIS behalf 3 1 Annual Report The capital stock authorized is $250,000,000 00 of which there is issued and outstanding 222,729,300 00 leaving a balance authorized but not issued of $27,270,700 00 The mortgage, bonded and secured debt outstanding on December 31, 1911 was $299,870,008 18 This has been added to as follows: Gold mortgage bonds, bearing interest at the rate of three and one-half per cent per annum $5,000,000 00 Gold debentures of 1912, bearing interest at the rate of four per cent per annum 9,150,000 00 Three year gold notes due May 1, 1915, bearing interest at the rate of four and one-half per i-enl per annum 20,000,000 00 This company's pro rata liability in connection with the equipment trust certificates of J 912, bearing interest at (lie rate of four and one-half per cent per annum 7,150,711 50 Equipment trust certificates on account of the Boston & Albany Railroad, bearing interest at the rate of four and one-half per cent per annum (see page 10) 5,220,000 00 Mortgage on real estate in the city of New York, bearing interest at the rate of three and one-half per cent pet- annum 1,000,000 00 Mortgage on real estate in the city of Utica, bearing interest at the rate of six per cent per annum 2,500 00 47,535,241 50 $347,405,849 08 and has been decreased as follows: Payments of installments falling due during the year on this company's pro rata liability in connection with the certificates issued under equip• ment trust agreements, as follows: Trust of 1907, installment due November, 1912 $793,000 12 Trust of 1910, installment due January, 1912 433,964 42 Payment of mortgage on real estate in the city of New York 150,000 00 1,377,024 54 Outstanding, as shown on the balance sheet of December 31, 1912 $346,028,225 14 In accordance with the consent of the Public Service Commission of the Second District of the State of New York, there have been acquired out of the proceeds of the issue of securities specially authorized for the purpose, 100,786 shares of common stock and 22,181 shares of preferred stock of the New York and Harlem Railroad Company of a par value of $6,148,350, at a cost of $21,493,053.10;

Just as the United States was the first true republic to endure and now has be- come the greatest republic the world has ever known, so the New York Central, one of the first important railroads to be established in America, has grown into a great transporta- tion system which, if it is not the foremost in the world, is at least among the very few in the front rank. In the development of the nation the New York Central Railroad has played an essential part. It became the principal highway over which flowed the stream of emigration to people the West, and it has remained the favorite ave- nue of communication between East and West for the descendants of these pioneer emigrants. Keeping pace with the demands upon it for transportation, the New York Central has de- veloped into a railroad system now known as The New York Central Lines, which moves about ten per cent of the aggregate amount of freight hauled by all the railroads as Measured in ton-miles, that is, one ton hauled one mile, 3 NEW Y-0 P.,K_ CENTELAL LIN ES ••• 04101110"r.- Grand Central Terminal, New York City, as it appears from Forty -second Street.

  • Crisis of Rugged Individualism the West Shore—South Pennsylvania Railroad Affair, 1880-1885
    Crisis of Rugged Individualism The West Shore—South Pennsylvania Railroad Affair, 1880-1885 HE last quarter of the nineteenth century traditionally has been viewed as an era in which the economic development of Tthe nation was speeded by a social climate almost perfectly conducive to business enterprise. With a highly sympathetic govern- ment behind him and a docile, unorganized labor force at his disposal, the entrepreneur is supposed to have been free from the major im- ponderables of modern industrial life. Hardly less important, it has been widely assumed, was the businessman's almost complete free- dom to plan and execute projects with a minimum of worry about how his decisions might affect others of his own kind. A spirit of in- dividualism in the commitment of one's own property had, indeed, characterized the small, closely-held enterprises which made up American business from its beginnings down to the end of the Civil War. Few have questioned the extent to which rugged individualism continued to rule throughout the eighties in the rapidly expanding railroad industry, even though by 1880 the numerous individual en- terprises were rapidly being woven into an industry of highly inter- dependent units, into which Americans and Europeans had poured hundreds of millions of dollars of investment capital in the preceding thirty years. Such beliefs about the business climate of the eighties and nineties culminated in a stereotype of the late-nineteenth-century business- man which Edward C. Kirkland articulates with the words "primi- tive," "strong," "confident," and "enthusiastic."1 The successful undertakings of these men, he points out, have been emphasized so exclusively that some of the most disapproving writers have come 1 Edward C* Kirkland, Dream and Thought in the Business Community, 1860-1900 (Ithaca, 1956), 8.
