EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAI LTRIBUNE Sunday. October 14, 1958 Burlington Official Optimistic on Future On Passenger Service Chicago, Burlington and Quin- cy Railroad company is optim istic about the future of its rail passenger operation, according to L. R. Capron of Chicago, vice president of the company's traf fic department. While visiting in Medford on Friday, Capron said the comp any is experiencing a substan ial loss on its overall passenger operation while the Burlington line's "name trains" are earning substantial profits the profits are offset in running small bra -h nd secondary main line trains, he said. "We're working to take off these deficit-incurring trains so the passenger operation as a whole will show a profit," Ca pron said. He said there is a better understanding of the rail situation now than there has been in the past and the com pany is experiencing some suc cess in taking off non-profit trains. Air Travel Capron acknowledged that air travel is becoming increasingly popular. However, he said he did not believe airplanes would ever replace trains as a means of transportation.

Schumacher Assessor Pjid Pol. Adv. In some runs, such as between Chicago and Denver, a plane could offer no more advantages than a train in the way of com fort and travel time, he contend ed. Trans-continental trains have the additional drawing card of scenic attractions, which planes cannot offer." In reply to a question on freight revenues, Capron said, "You don't lose money on freight service. In cases where freight revenues fail to show profit, we secure permission to pull up the track." It isn't necessary that equip ment' be brand new these days in order to be good, the railway official said. He explained this is because equipment built in the last 15 or 20 years is more durable than the earlier equip ment. Capron was visiting his line's local agency in the D'Anjou building.
