Not illustrated. 1876 edition. Excerpt: ...in the consideration of the increased expense of operating as compared with the earnings. Owing to the opportunity of reaching the coal-fields by a shorter route, a large proportion of the supply of coal for the Company's use was brought direct from the mines without transshipment, and hauled over the Western Extension, increasing the tonnage of Company supplies from 46,618 tons in 1881 to 107,097 tons in 1882, or an increase of 129.73 per cent. On this business there is no corresponding revenue; the advantages derived being a reduction in the cost of fuel and an increase in its value of about ten per cent, owing to the avoidance of the injurious effects of trans-shipment.

The Company, however, to earn this amount, had to run 137,626 passenger-train miles, showing little direct profit on the business; but it is evident, from its...
