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.

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.
Consolidated Buys
Additional Property
The Consolidated Freightways
company, 703 North Central
ave., has purchased property
situated just south of the pres
ent terminal, according to A.
M. Perkins, company.
W. H. Olson, manager of the
Willamette Hauling company,
will use the purchased land for
parking hauling equipment. He
has his offices with the local
Consolidated Freightways com
pany. The houses which are on the
property will be cleared,' Per
kins said. Reason for the pur
chase, according to Olson, is due
to the increasing business in
the two departments.
Besides local freight business
Perkins said, the company also
has moving van service and stor
age space at the present terminal.

poration, 641 South Grape st.,
