Headlight Central's 1966 Earnings Highest in History

The New York Centra l System achieved the highest net income in the company's history during 1966, Alfred E. Perlman, NYC President, announced recently.

Central's consolidated earnings, in­cluding subsidiary companies, increased 25.2 per cent to $65,531,812, equal to $9.51 per share. This compares with net income of $52,355,635, or $7.59 per share for the year 1965.

The company's previous peak of $63,-176,389 was reached during the war year of 1943.

New York Central Railroad declared dividends of $3.15 per share during the year, the highest amount since 1931.

Mr. Perlman also reported that the New York Central Railroad earned $50,110,679, or $7.27 per share, in 1966. This represents a 20.7 per cent in­crease over the net of $41,518,728, or $6.02 per share, for the previous year.

The company attained record earn­ings last year despite a decline in the fourth quarter. Net income for the New York Central Railroad during the last quarter of 1966 amounted to $13,546,-354, or $1.96 per share, as compared with $19,239,091, or $2.78 per share for the same period in 1965. Increased ex­penses during the last quarter included such unusual items as rectroactive wage and fringe benefit adjustments of $3.4 million and excess track retirement ad­justments of approximately $2.5 million, an unusual charge due to construction of the new electronic Alfred E. Perlman Yard at Selkirk, N. Y.

Central's 1966 operating revenues of $670,205,798 increased 1.3 per cent, while operating expenses of $534,515,-267 increased $6,454,903, or 1.2 per cent. Last year's operating expenses in­

clude approximately $10.4 million for wage increases and employee fringe ben­efits, other than payroll taxes.

The railroad's freight revenues of $529,623,566 went up 2.2 per cent, while passenger revenues continued to decline and showed a 5.7 per cent de­crease.

Central's ratio of operating expenses to operating revenues during 1966 was 79.75, the lowest figure in eleven years.

"While we stressed increased profits during 1966," Mr. Perlman said, "we based these on a sound foundation of superior service to our customers, lower operating costs and a higher average revenue per carload."

He pointed out that last year Central's average revenue per carload increased $9.37 over 1965, to a new high of $182.21. In the past five years, the rail­road's average revenue per carload has increased $22.63, or 14.2 per cent, in spite of an 8.7 per cent decrease in the rate per ton-mile charged the shipper.

"With productivity continuing to im­prove, gross ton-miles per freight train hour rose to 73,795, the highest level in the history of the company," Mr. Perl­man said.

As an example of new business growth, Central reported that its Flexi-Van container service continued to break new records. The volume of this coordinated rail-highway-water opera­tion increased 22.9 per cent over the previous year to 150,098, compared with the national "piggy-back" (trailers and containers) growth rate of 15 per cent for the same period.

Central's fixed charges have decreased 33.1 per cent during the past eleven years to $32,368,420, Mr. Perlman re­ported.

N.Y.C. President Named

MAN OF THE YEAR

Freight Forwarders Cite Stature as Transport Leader Alfred E. Perlman, President of the

New York Central, has been named "MAN OF THE YEAR" by the New York Foreign Freight Forwarders and Brokers Association. The designation was announced by Donald T. Cameron, Association President.

Mr. Perlman was honored at the Asso­ciation's Golden Jubilee Dinner held on January 25 at the Americana Hotel in New York City.

In naming Mr. Perlman, the Associa­tion recognized him as one of the fore­most leaders and articulate spokesmen of the railroad industry. His brilliant exper­tise in transportation administration and finance is credited with saving the Cen­tral from bankruptcy and inspiring the line's remarkable resurgence.

The influence of his progressive think­ing and his bold and imaginative pio­neering has extended far beyond his company's lines.

Mr. Perlman is the prime architect in the contemporary restructuring of the American railroad map. He has been tireless in his efforts to create balanced rail systems in the East, ending waste and duplication and establishing new goals for better service to shippers.

His adoption of a marketing approach to "total transportation" for the indus­tries served by the Central is unique and

his successful effort to obtain the bene­fits of equalized rates for shippers through the Port of New York is a mat­ter of record.

Mr. Perlman's concept of total distri­bution as a joint task of all carriers has made him the leading advocate for inte­grated transportation and the strongest proponent for regional, national and in­ternational cooperation in all segments of transport.

Basic to Alfred E. Perlman's achieve­ments has been his willingness to experi­ment and his belief that anything can be improved. Since his early days he has adhered to his creed: "After you've done a thing the same way for two years, look it over carefully; after five years, look at it with suspicion; after ten years, throw it away and start all over!"

Following are some specific areas of achievement considered for the Foreign Freight Forwarders and Brokers Asso­ciation Award:

• Development of Flexi-Van, the first truly integrated rail-highway-water container service and the only con­tainer operation compatible with all modes of transport.

• Introduction of Flexi-Van to interna­tional shipments, enabling American exporters to ship products abroad, in-

and undisturbed, from inland origins to inland destinations

tact U.S. abroad.

• Encouraging steamship lines to en­gage in container movements.

• Active role in the development of the Trans-European Road Rail Express, scheduled to begin operation this year.

• Leadership in the area of transport coordination and uniformity.

• Successful effort to obtain equalized rates for shippers through the Port of New York.

• Development of a marketing program that determines the true needs of the shipper and the best methods of sat­isfying those needs.

• Integrating of pricing, equipment and service considerations to solve the shippers' problems and to provide a total distribution system.

• Leadership in the field of cybernetics —the communication and control in human beings and machines—to bet­ter serve the shipping public.

• Establishment of the first railroad-owned research center to engage in applied research and evaluation.

The award is presented annually to an individual who has contributed mate­rially to foreign commerce moving via the Port of New York.

CLUES TO LATEST KNOW HOW LEAD CENTRAL POLICE TO SCHOOL

Day-long courses inaugurate advanced training in newest methods for NYC sleuths

ALL EYES W E R E FRONT as Patrolman John W . Kelly (right) from Boston, acts out search and seizure procedure with Patrolman Wi l ­liam J. Green, standing in as the suspect.

NYC Policemen are following a new kind of trail these days, one that leads back to the school room. To more effec­tively carry out its important functions, members of the Central's Police depart­ment, from sergeant to the newest pro­bationary patrolman, must keep up-to-date on the latest police techniques, rules, regulations and methods. With this in mind, New York Central's Police department has opened a police train­ing school.

The basic police school has been at­tended by sergeants and patrolmen in Boston, Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit and Indianapolis during January.

The purpose of the opening session as outlined by NYC Director of Security, Albert J. Tuohy, former FBI adminis­trator, is to acquaint each officer with his role in law enforcement, the basic sources and nature of the law he is enforcing and the structure of law en­forcement he will encounter outside of his own organization.

The remainder of the first day is de­voted to instructing the student and pro­viding practice in the basics of placing people under arrest. This part of the course is handled by Joseph W. Sargis, NYC Management Analyst, who was a former FBI Special Agent.

The second course, held in February, was an instruction period to further expand the basic legal knowledge every officer must have about making arrests and to acquaint him with the decisions which he must make in search and seizure situations.

Instruction is given in the use of the night stick and practice in defending himself against various forms of per­sonal attack.

The final course to be held (later in March) will be devoted to instructing the officers in properly conducting in­terviews and taking statements in com­pliance with recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions.

Basic instruction in the investigative processes and report writing will com­plete the third part of the basic Police Training Program.

After attending the special courses, each Central police officer will be better equipped with a working knowledge of the complex problems which face a rail­road policeman and the procedures to be followed in meeting such problems quickly and efficiently.

Mr. Albert J. Tuohy, NYC Director of Security has stated, "that through these efforts, we hope to make NYC Police Department, the finest in the industry."

The 'Streamlined

Strip' NYC Style

OBSERVATION OFFICE Welded ends of two observation cars from New York Central's Mercury train fleet of yester-year provide an efficient office and observation point for the strip field at Beech Grove Car Shops. Standing on the observation deck are left to right: Ralph Wadsworth, Strip Field Assistant Foreman: Don Tutko, Beech Grove Production Manager, and Gordon L. Zeider, Superintendent.

By Farwell C. Rhodes , J r .

BELT LINE . . . Eight 50-foot conveyor belt systems mounted on track at the Beech Grove strip field are used to transfer dis­mantled wooden interiors of boxcars to strip pits for burning. The pits can be seen at upper left. Watching at far right while work­men push one of the conveyor belt machines into proper position are Don M. Tutko, Production Manager, and Gordon L. Zeider, Superintendent, Beech Grove Shops.

N E W YORK CENTRAL STRIPPER . . . works on a boxcar at Beech Grove Car Shops.

The "streamlined strip" is about the hottest thing around New York Cen­tral's Beech Grove (Ind.) Car Shops.

Not the sizzling, sexy, sens-A-A-A-tional strip of burlesque, but the steady, systematic stripping of freight cars shopped for rebuilding.

The "action" is in Beech Grove's strip field where car parts to be replaced are stripped off by torch and hammer before the cars enter the assembly line for re­building.

Improvements in the strip field have streamlined the stripping process, result­ing in a 30 per cent increase in produc­tion, and other substantial savings.

Principal Improvements 1. A unique and serviceable strip field

office, consisting of the welded ends of two observation cars from the famous NYC Mercury trains, has been installed. Moved to Beech Grove from Ashtabula, O., when NYC's Ashtabula scrap and reclamation plant was closed, the ob­servation car-office is novel in appear­ance and utilitarian with its wrap-around design. It is perched atop steel supports, giving personnel using the office a vast, panoramic view of the entire stripping operation.

The office has a sentimental attrac­tiveness too, since the Mercury trains were built at Beech Grove, making it

only fitting that their last salvageable remnants should be returned after thou­sands of miles of useful passenger serv­ice.

2. A 500-foot-long concrete pad, 12 feet wide, has been installed on the No. 1 strip track to facilitate car dismantling.

3. Eight 50-foot-long continuous belt conveyors have been installed to auto­matically transfer the dismantled wooden interiors of boxcars to strip pits for burn­ing. Previously the wood was burned at trackside, interfering with work on the cars.

4. Capacity of gas, oxygen and water lines to the strip area have been in­creased.

5. The frame locker room for strip field workmen has been rebuilt and the employees' auto parking area covered with a new coat of gravel.

Project Completed The project has been completed under

the direction of Beech Grove Superin­tendent Gordon L. Zeider and Don M. Tutko, production manager.

Stripping operations are an integral part of Beech Grove's current produc­tion of 550 rebuilt double-door boxcars, "stretched" from 40 to 50 feet in length, and more than 5,000 rebuilt Class I hopper cars, increased from 55 to 66-ton capacity.

Werby, Director of Flexi-Van Sales & Serv­ices, beams approval.

T O P FLEXI-VAN SALESMEN for 1966 were in line for congratulations for a job well done. Don L. Werby (2nd left). Director of Flexi-Van Sales & Service, did the honors as he announced the launching of Flexi-Thon III campaign for 1967. Looking for­ward to the challenge of the new campaign were left to right: Will iam H. Mollard, Detroit; Thomas J. Cowan, Boston; Rudy G. Loescher, Cleveland; Keith Rankin, St. Louis; Patrick N. Clifford, New York; seated—Vic­tor R. Boettle, Chicago and Ronald A. Stahl, Cincinnati.

Top award for the 1966 winner of the Flexi-Thon II Campaign went to Central's hard-driving Chicago sales or­ganization. Headed by Clarence P. Rahn, Flexi-Van Sales Manager, the group won the monthly plaque in April, March, September and November last year. Top award for the year was won by the Chicago Flexi-Van group when they exceeded the 1966 Flexi-Van Sales quota by 16.6 per cent.

John G. Patten, NYC's Vice Presi­dent-Freight Sales, Don L. Werby, Director of Flexi-Van Sales & Services, Ralph N. Cramer, Assistant Vice Presi­dent-Freight Sales & Service at Chicago and William F. Kirk, President of New York Central Transport Co., were on hand to make the presentation of the top award.

Flexi-Thon III in Full Swing

Mr. Werby announced that Flexi-Thon III was now in full swing, and that this year an award will be presented to the top Flexi-Van salesmen each month in each sales territory who tops the field in originating traffic in his area.

A tally for each territory will be kept on a Flexi-Thon III Meter which indi­cates the monthly loadings and the num­ber of revenue Flexi-Vans loaded, on a year to date basis.

The Flexi-Thon III campaign will

end next December, and the Flexi-Van Sales Manager with the best 12-month sales record will win a grand prize.

Flexi-Van service broke all records in 1966, reaching 150,098, an increase of 22.9 per cent over 1965.

Containerization is the fastest grow­ing development on the transportation horizon and is leading to integrated transportation service to shippers.

Flexi-Van Service Increased

Central inaugurated Flexi-Van service in April, 1958, and in 1962 expanded the service to handle export traffic, be­coming the first land carrier to offer truly inter - modal, through - container trans­portation abroad. The use of Flexi-Van containers in international shipments is rapidly increasing.

In 1966, Central added two new Super Van Trains to its fleet of high­speed express container trains. The 12 Super Van trains now operated by Cen­tral have reduced transit time between New York and the West Coast by at least one full day. These trains provide the only daily container service between New York and Chicago.

Representing less than one-half of one per cent of the total freight equip­ment on the Central, Flexi-Van contrib­uted 15 per cent of the railroad's total net income in 1965.

New AAR Film Presents Railroads' Inside Look

"New Directions in Modern Railroad­ing" is the title of a new 27-minute color film produced by the Association of American Railroads.

Featuring the development of ad­vanced technology and new rail services, the film captures some of the dynamic action and vitality behind the recent rail comeback.

Narrated by Chet Huntley, the 16mm. motion picture provides an inside look at how U. S. railroads are winning new business and regaining old with "cus-tomerized service" and other imagina­tive ideas for reshaping rail operations and services.

Flying Underwear Halts World's Fastest Train

In Tokyo "the world's fastest train" was "unsuitably delayed" recently.

According to an Associated Press dis­patch, a national railway inspector, spot­ting a white cloth dangling from a rail­

way power line, threw a safety switch that halted the super express.

The official said the cloth turned out to be a Japanese union suit known as "suteteko," apparently picked up from someone's clothesline by a gust of wind.

FEATURE FACTS ABOUT RAI LROADS . . . • Freight cars going into service now

are bigger than those they replace, and better suited for modern transporta­tion. They have roller bearings or im­proved lubrication for conventional bearings. Better springs and cushion underframes give ladings gentler han­dling. Wider car doors make it easier to load and unload with lift trucks and other mechanical devices. Such im­provements are expensive: the price of the average freight car has doubled in the past ten years, from $7,800 in 1955 to about $15,000 now.

• Today's freight trains move the whole range of products of America's mines, mills, forests, factories and farms —from high-value manufactured goods to raw bulk materials. A typical "cross-section" train of 69 cars would include 38 cars of manufactured goods, 14 coal and coke, five with ore and other mine products, six with grain and other farm products, five with forest products, and 1 with mixed less-than-carload traffic.

• Don't try to race a freight train to the crossing this summer while driv­ing on your vacation. It may be going 75 m.p.h. Sixty-mile-an-hour freight trains are common, delivering all types of commodities faster than ever before. Some piggyback, merchandise and fresh-produce runs do better than a mile a minute, and this is just the beginning, say rail experts looking into the future.

• The average railroad charge for moving a ton a mile is now 1 1/4 cents-compared with 6.5 cents for trucking and 21.7 cents for air cargo.

• Railroad wages are at their highest level in history and still rising. Straight-time earnings for all classes of railroad employees (excepting officials) averaged $3.32 per hour in 1966, compared with $2.42 in 1957, an increase of 37 per cent. Over the same 10-year period, total employment costs per hour worked (in­cluding payroll taxes, health and welfare benefits, vacation and holiday pay, over­time premiums, etc.) increased more than 42 per cent.

• Payroll taxes alone paid by the railroads to support the Railroad Retire­ment and Unemployment Systems have increased since they were first initiated from $61.46 per employee in 1936 to $697.00 per employee in 1966, and from $66 million over-all in 1936 to a 1966 outlay of $440 million. Provisions of ex­isting law will raise payroll taxes of Class I railroads by another $40 million in 1967.

•Total tax payments (federal, state and local) of Class I railroads in 1966 amounted to more than $2,800,000 a day, Sundays and holidays included.

• The unit train concept has made it possible for railroads to aid one of their biggest customers, the coal industry, in its competition with nuclear energy as the power source for generation of elec­tric energy. Unit train service has kept coal-by-train competitive with mine-mouth power plants—where the utility builds its plants near a coal supply and transmits electric energy via high voltage lines—and with coal slurry pipelines.

Railroads Set All-Time Freight Volume Record

12 New York Central Headlight

BEST W I S H E S are extended to Robert H. Hilton (right). Clerk in the District Engineers office at Syracuse, as he retires after 42 years service with the New York Central. Robert W . Or r , District Engineer, presented retirement certificate.

MORE T H A N A CENTURY of accident-free railroading was combined in the careers of New York Central Engineer L. H. Scales (2nd from left), Parma, O. and Conductor Ray V. Cantrell (3rd from left), who recently retired after making their final run aboard the Southwestern from Bellefontaine, O. to Cleveland. Giving the two NYC veterans a send-off at Bellefontaine are E. K. Beemer (left). Road Foreman, and Eugene E. Burger, Trainmaster at Galion, O.

Piggyback traffic rose 12 per cent over 1965, and at year's end was almost double the 1961 figure. The industry hauled 2.5 million truck trailers and containers on flatcars as piggyback load­ings rose to 4 per cent of total freight carloadings.

New motor vehicles shipped by the railroads' new rack car methods totaled 4.6 million—3.5 per cent over the 1965 level and 236 per cent over 1961.

Capital expenditures reached the $1.9 billion mark in this "Year 5" of the re-surging industry—up one-sixth over 1965

and three times the $646 million spent in 1961.

This record total was channeled into new rolling stock and over-all techno­logical improvements, enabling the in­dustry to achieve new highs in operating efficiency. Including buying by private users, 105,000 new and rebuilt freight cars were installed.

Total operating revenues in 1966 matched the 1953 record of $10.7 bil­lion, and were nearly 5 per cent over last year and 16 per cent above 1961.

The number of rail employees in 1966 dropped about 1 1/2 per cent from 1965 to an average of 631,000. Despite this result of better manpower utilization, annual wages and fringe benefits per employee rose to an all-time high of more than $8,700, and the industry's total labor bill of $5.5 billion amounted to more than half of rail revenues.

The 1966 transport legislative scene was highlighted by congressional estab­lishment of a new Department of Trans­portation.

It is hoped that the new Department will help bring about early and effective action on government transport policy inequities that have long hampered rail­road growth and development.

On the adverse side of the picture, a law was passed aimed at curbing capital spending through suspension of the 7 per cent investment tax credit. While a backlog of orders will sustain railroad capital spending for several months in 1967, the legislation is expected to cur­tail railroad improvement programs in the last half of 1967 and in 1968.
