More Railroad Progress like this depends on adequate earnings Isn't this common sense ? America's railroads have spent more than twelve billion dollars since World War II to improve their service — with new equipment, better roadway, new operating techniques. These improvements are as important to America as to the railroads themselves. And the self-sustaining railroads are ready to make many more — as fast as they can earn the money to pay for them. That's the hitch. Railroads just aren't earning enough money these days to put into operation all the improvements they have developed. Railroads could make enough money to do more of these things, for they are — by far — our most efficient system of mass transportation. Rut their earning power is hamstrung by outdated public policies that favor competing forms of transportation. As a result, the railroads' earnings are reduced — and the nation loses some of the benefits of railroad progress. In your interest — in the interest of every American family — railroads should be permitted equal opportunity to earn an adequate return on their investment. Isn't this common sense?
