. Railroad operating costs arranged to include the operations of 1911; a continuation of studies in operating costs of the leading American railroads . /ncrease or DecreaseCompared tr/in /90/. aLfrw. ufl/o/r r/ic Fig. 9 28 RAILROAD OPERATING COSTS If a railroad is obliged to maintain expensive terminals, it should spend morethan a railroad of the same type in other respects, which does not have these charac-teristics. To compare two roads in the same territory; the St. Joseph & GrandIsland has very inexpensive terminals, while the Kansas City Southern maintainselaborate terminals at Kansas City and particularly at Port Arthur, Texas. TheSt. Joseph & Grand Island spent in 1908 only $475 per mile for maintenance of way,and averaged $700 per mile for the past ten years, yet this small amount has appar-ently been sufficient to maintain the property at as high a standard as has beennecessary and relatively is probably as good as the Kansas City Southern with anaverage for nine years of a little more than $1,000 per mile. The maintenance of way expenditures per mile on a ten years average vary allthe way from $700 on the St. Joseph
