| THE INDIANAPOLIS Tries Nation’ s Railroads Speeding Up Passenger and Freight

Trains

in Modernization Drive to Recover Lost Business, Revenues

Rates Cut, Accommodations Improved in Battle for Traffic.

(Last of a Series) BY NED BROOKS Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.—Pass- | enger trains capable of streaking at 120 miles an hour and freights that make overnight runs of 400 to 500 | miles, typify the raiiroads’ drive to recapture lost traffic. Competition of busses, carriers and airplanes has forced railroads to do more than streamline trains. They have been] compelled figuratively to stream-| line fares, accommodations for travelers and service to shippers. The modernization impulse is stimulated by rising revenues which put the roads in ‘better position to buy more Diesel-powered locomo-| tives, air-conditioning equipment and car. trappings that the move- | ment demands. During the depression years railroads learned lessons in eliminating waste and inefficiencies. M. J. Gormley, executive assistant of the Association of American Railroads, estimates that on a basis of unit costs the annual operating expense is more than a ‘billion dollars under the 1920 figure
