PHILADELPHIA
AND NEW YORK
In the early days the Philadelphia & Reading Railway was
chartered primarily for carrying coal. Today it has grown to
be one of the bi^ links in America’s great transportation sys
tem. In 1922 at 76 junction points traffic was interchanged
with 18 other railroads, and over two million loaded cars were
moved.
Today, the Terminal System of the Philadelphia & Reading
Railway, with an open door policy, secures to the shipping pub- - ;
lie the advantages of 44 main routes to Chicago, St. Louis and
the West—15 main routes to Atlanta, Charleston, Jacksonville
and the Southeast—48 main routes to Memphis, New Orleans
and the Southwest—5 main routes (to Eastern Canada—and
44 established routes to Western Canada.
\ ?
A» a .result of Government control of the railroads during the War, the^ tax- .rV'Jj:
payers were called upon to make good a deficit of $l,200,00p,000. Yet fiie
political ambition of some men urges them to throw the transportation ,
service mto chaos again. The government' would be deprived of 300 mil
lion dollars taxes a year-—and taxpayers would have to supply this deficiency.
The Philadelphia & Reading Railway, if left free from unwise legislation, can
prosper—but profits are needed for improvements and contingencies beyond
control of the railroad, such as compulsory elimination of grade crossings,
strikes, safety inspection laws and a host of things.
The genius, initiative and foresight of our predecessors—90 years of rail
road sense—has brought the Philadelphia & Reading Railway to its present
greatness. With a property investment of $377,460,614.14 and the in
telligent, loyal support of 30,000 employees, is it not a sensible and fair (
thing1 to preserve this Institution intact,'so that future generations may reap
as much good from it as have those of the past? ,
