The Long Island Railroad is handicapped by the natural limitations of its territory. It serves a narrow island, i15 miles jong, with no Important connections at present except water connections at the west end of the system on the Bast River... Accordingly, principles applying to rallways’ operated upon the mainland cannot be applied to its conditions. Other railroads rely largely upon through passenger bus!- ness, whereas the Long Island Railroad has no such traffic to increase its Income, lower its operating expénsés and aid in maintaining an efficient service for commuters. With a line only 391.76 miles long, it has as many passenger cars as the Iitinois Central Railroad, which is 4,301 miles long. While the average run of its passenger trains is fess than 24 miles, more trains entér and leave its Long Island City terminal than enter and leave the Grand Central Station of the New York Central Railroad over both the Hudsot River and the Harlem Divisions, \ The Island has not as yet developed any considerable manufactures, and thus the railroad is cut off from’ the most important source of revettue—freight business, Other rail. roads secure the greater part of their revenue from freight, while this road is dependent almost entirely upon passenger business, On the six other railroads centring in New York, the freight receipts are about two and a half times the pas- senger income, while on the Long’ Island Railroad the freight receipts are less*than half the passenger income. in other words, these roads receive two and a half times as much from freight as from passengers, while this road iecelves twice as much from passengers as from freight. (See Poor's Manual, 1904.) Nevertheless, the average passenger rate per. mile—including all commutation rates, as well as all other passenger receipts —on these six other roads centring in New York is 1.668 cents, whereas thé average on the Long Island Railroad is only . 4.44 cents, A further consequence of its position as a railroad with only an Bast River entry: for passengers is the fact that its operating expenses are necessarily high, its trains must always be practically empty in one direction or the other, ac- cording to the time of day. After securing every economy possible up to this time, passengers are still carrled-at fess than cost, Whether the recent advance if rates will cover the pres- ent deficlency of Income cannot yet be determingd, W, F.
