North Dakota (Soo Line).
In many areas they parallel and are competitive with, the lines of the Canadian

The Canadian Government, by the National Transportation Act of February 1967,

PIGGYBACK SERVICES

B Piggyback services are available in and between 62 points in all provinces in

^Canada an <* Vermont except Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland. Internation-

t. al and overland (international) piggyback traffic is handled through established

interchange points with US rail carriers.
In general, services run daily except Sunday from points of origin, using piggy-

back trains between Toronto-Montreal, and fast freight trains on other routes.
Semi-trailers owned and leased by CP Rail number 276 built to specifications
which will meet piggyback handling and over-the-road service. They range in length
from 35 ft. to 45 ft. and include both dry and insulated vans, and stake and racks.
There is no specialized equipment. "Circus type" loading is performed by road
tractors using end ramps. Containers are 20 feet long.

Terminal-to-terminal service is provided for motor common carrier and private

industry semi-trailers. Door-to-Door service is provided by railway-owned
containers and semi-trailers. The latter are used in international service. This is
limited to the number of vehicles in the inventory and the denamds of domestic
market. Trailers are returned loaded or empty to the owning line in accordance

with AAR rules. Piggyback services on rail-owned flat cars are available between
points shown on the Map below. Users are the "for-hire" motor common carriers,
new trailer manufactures and industry owning its own highway trailer equipment.

This corporation operates an integrated ship-rail-highway transportation system.
From Vancouver, BC, to Skagway, Alaska, U.S.A. by ship; from Skagway to

Whitehorse. Yukon Territory, I I I miles (179 km.), by 3 ft. in. (0 9/5 m.) gauge
railway; and then by road transport throughout Yukon Territory and adjacent

areas.

Railways absorbed are:

—Pacific and Arctic Railway and Navigation Company

British Columbia Yukon Railway Company

—The British Yukon Railway Company

Container traffic on ship, rail and highway, characterizes virtually all the

traffic. In addition substantial expansion of output from mines and the building
DWTof a new bulk ore terminal at Skagway permits operation of 35,000 ton
ore

carriers with metal concentrates direct from Skagway to overseas ports.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Net earnings from operations were $1-30 millions ($1-24 in 1969) from gross-
earnings of $29 2 millions ($22 7 in 1969).

TRAFFIC

Tons of freight handled exceeded 200,000 tons (a 32% increase on 1967) and the
number of passengers was approximately 30,000.

Freight trains averaged 265 net tons (maximum 600 tons) mostly hauled end to end
on the railroad. Maximum speed on the 3' 0" (9/5 mm.) gauge track is 30 mph

— —(48 km/h.) and average train speed both passenger and freight trains is 20 mph

(32 km/h.).

LOCOMOTIVES AND CARS

The locomotive fleet comprises 16 units, any 3 of the five new class 100 units

will handle trainloads of 1.000 tons of concentrates; 30 passenger cars and 450
freight cars, and 956 containers.

DEVELOPMENT

The Anvil mine, near Ross River, produces lead and zinc concentrates which
are handled by road tractor-trailers weighing 95,000 lbs. gross using eliptical contain-
ers to carry 65,000 lbs. payload.

These transfer to the railway and are shipped to Skagway in daily 1,000 ton trains,
dumped into storage, and can later be moved by conveyor to put 1 ,500 tons an hour

into a ship's hold.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

REVIEW OF RAILROAD ACTIVITIES IN 1970

GENERAL

1970 was a poor year for US railroads.

The year began with record cold and storms in the North East, and continued
with the Penn Central bankruptcy and receivership; was compounded by the
continued slowdown in the US economy, coupled with inflation; the ten-week

GM strike; and a short railroad strike which ended with Congress imposing the

largest railway wage increase in history.

Government traffic declined sharply coincident with lessened US involvement

in South East Asia.
Many railroads wrote-off doubtful accounts receivable from the bankrupt Penn

Central.

47%Despite this, revenues rose to a record of nearly $12 billion, largely the

result of higher tariffs with the same volume of traffic. Two freight rate increases

5%were approved, the first of approximately effective 9 June 1970, and the second

6% 8%effective 20 November of for Eastern and
for South Eastern railroads and

Western railroads.
Expenses however rose more, proportionally, than revenue, by 7-2% to $116

billion, mainly due to increased wage costs.

Thus net operating income fell 75% to a new low value of only 3-4% and return

on investment fell to 1-5%.

MERGERS

While merger plans already approved or announced indicate that the US railroad

system will evolve into about 10 major railroads, the general attitude to mergers

cooled, partly under reaction to the Penn Central bankruptcy.

The proposed merger of the C&O B&O and Norfolk and Western was abandoned.
Illinois Central merged with the GM&O, and the Louisville and Nashville with

the Monon.

The Seaboard Coast Line made an offer to acquire a major holding in the Louis-

ville and Nashville.

DIVERSIFICATION

The tendency to diversification lessened.
The Milwaukee was the only additional railway planning to form a holding

company.

Established diversification activities continued in real estate, pipelines, oil
development, mineral development, land development and lumber. As part of
its plan for restoration of financial stability, the Penn Central planned to sell some

of its most valuable real estate in downtown Manhattan.

AMTRAK

For many years, US railroads have pressed for relief from the losses due to the

operation of poorly-patronized intercity passenger trains, generally by seeking

permission to discontinue these trains. On 31 October 1970, the President signed
the Bill creating the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (titled AMTRAK)

to operate a limited system of intercity trains with Federal financial support, and
operation on the routes shown on the map commenced I May 1971.

Southern Railway; Denver and Rio Grande; and Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific,

opted to remain outside AMTRAK, although this decision involved them in con-
tinuing service of some of their passenger trains.

ASTRO
—41%US railroads haul
of all intercity freight twice as much as any other mode

and traffic is expected to grow by at least 35% in the next decade. Yet, ironically,

their losses are increasing while their business is growing.

Declining earnings and increased costs, have led to a capital shortage at a time

when, more than ever, capital was needed to keep pace with technical developments.

A study group called ASTRO, (America's Sound Transportation Review Organiz-

ation), representing railroads and the railroad supply industry, released a report

calling for great changes in the national transportation policy, putting the railway

on a more equitable footing with other transport modes such as highways and

airways.

Although private companies, they are subject to substantial Government regu-

lation, both in establishing the rates they may charge, and further in 1970, Congress,

to settle a wage dispute, imposed upon the railways the largest wage increase in

history.

Federal aid was sought to assist capital investment for improvements at a level

approximating S3 million a year, about double the present scale.

FINANCIAL

Operating revenues for all class I US railroads rose to a new high record in 1970.

Total I I 983 II 450 10 840

The increase in revenue, over 1969 was attributable to freight, and due to sustain-

ed volume at higher tariffs.

Total passenger revenue fell 4%, compounded of a drop in intercity traffic, and a

slight rise in commuter traffic.

Operating expenses rose sharply under inflationary pressures in all categories of

wages, materials and taxes.
