They are capitalized for only $71,000 a mile— much less than their actual value. Seventy-one thousand dollars today will buy one locomotive. English railways are capitalized at $274,000 a mile; the French at $155,000; German $132,000; even in Canada (still in pioneer development) they are capitalized at $67,000 a mile. The average for all foreign countries is $100,000. Low capitalization and high operating effici ency have enabled American Railroads to pay the highest wages while charging the lowest rates. tfiis advertisement is published by the Association of ¿Railway executives Thon driirint ¡«formation contornine thr railread limati»« may obtain literature by writin/ to The Asiociation of Hailway Eiecutivoo, bl Broadway, Now York New Nash 6 Touring Car.
