The year's business During 1929, the company moved 32,792,343 tons of revenue freight, an increase as compared with 1928 of 691,446 tons, largely the result, of a heavier movement of coal, coke and manufactured articles.

Passenger revenue was $19,883,089.83, an increase of $90,523.06. Mail revenue was §1,653,641.35, an increase of 8538,110.23. Express revenue was $4,314,357.55, an increase of $274,729.14.

Other transportation, incidental and joint facility revenues increased $77,971.32, Operating expenses The following table shows the operating expenses by groups: Croup Amount Increase Maintenance of way and structures S10,060,35S 74 $06,806 80 Maintenance of equipment 19,798,575 -II 1,309,163 45 Truffle 1,657,201 53 57,702 86 Transportation 29,916,401 02 501,503 33 Miscellaneous 1,137,396 73 1131,981 14 General 2,092,332 22 90,799 65 Transportation for investment—credit P6.961 09 S2G.5S7 Total 86-1,865,394 50 92,221,459 45 The principal outlay contributing to the increase in expense for maintenance of way and structures is for the removal of snow and ice, the result of the severe weathor in December, 1929. There were partially offsetting decreases in charges for application of track materia] and for maintenance of bridges, trestles and culverts. The increase of $1,369,163.45 in expense for maintenance of equipment is largely in freight car repairs. The number of freight cars repaired increased from 698,672 in 1928 to 787,483 in 1929. Traffic expenses increased $57,702.S6, chiefly in expense of off line representation. Annual Report Transportation expenses veto $501,503.33 more than for 1928, mainly due to the handling of a larger volume of traffic. , The increase of $101,981.1-1 in expense* for miscellaneous operations is chiefly due to additional dining cars operated in regular and special service. The increase of §90,799.55 in general expenses is mainly the result of larger charges lo the pension account and for valuation work prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Railway tax accruals Railway tax accruals were $6,392,709,84, an increase of $64,773.15, largely the result of under accruals in former years.

    JANUARY - FEBRUARY, 1978 Volume XXVII; Number 1 GREAT LAKES MARITIME INSTITUTE DOSSIN GREAT LAKES MUSEUM Belle Isle, Detroit, Michigan 48207 JAN/FEB, 1978 Page 2 MEMBERSHIP NOTES Welcome to 1978! A brand new year, a brand new slate, and a brand new outlook. It is going to be difficult to keep up with the pace set in 1977, but the continued success of the Institute demands that we not just meet, but surpass last year. At the close of the year our member­ ship had grown to approaching 1,50C. pretty good for an organization that had 97 members in 1959...but this year we’ll shoot for 1,600. It’ll take a lot of work, and you’ll have to help, but you always have, so we should make it. Telescope production last year produced a total of 244 pages, and in addition to that we produced the FITZGERALD book with 60 pages. For the uninitiated, this means your Editor typed, then Varityped 608 pages. This much production takes a lot of time, but we are going to do something about it, and we’ll have an announcement to make perhaps as early as the next issue. Not only will what we have planned result in far less work to getting Telescope out, but it will produce a far better product. Yes, 1977 was a good year...but 1978 looks better. MEETING NOTICES Regular membership meetings are scheduled for January 27, March 31, and May 19 (early to avoid Memorial Day weekend). All meetings will be at the Dossin Museum at 8:00 PM.

Here will be included page references to the frequently huge number of small short-line roads that usually wound up by being “taken in” to the larger and expending Class II and I roads. Some of these files, such as the New York Central or the Pennsylvania Railroad are very big themselves. Michigan, Wisconsin, Oregon, and Washington are large because the many lumber railroads have been extensively studied out.
