TNI PNISCO RAILWAY
WHY IS THIS
KING DONE?
WILL IT CHIPPIE
FREIGHT SERVICE?
HOW ABOUT
MAH SERVICE?
WILL IT CUT
TAX PAYMENTS
IT THE FRISCO?
Has boon authorized by the Interstate Commerce
Commission in Finance Docket 20714
to discontinue its Night Passenger Trains Nos. SI7
and 518, "The Alack Gold' between Tulsa, Okla.
and Dallas, Tex. The last through trains will leave
both Tulsa and Dallas on JANUARY II, ltM.
Threw trains have been .xuatnining an annual out-of-pocket
ka» of approximately $100,000.00 because of lack of
patronage. So, in the interest of good business, the Frisco
has qo alternative except to discontinue them.
There was a time when these trains served a transportation
need, but the development of tine highways and
the expansion of competing forms of transportation have
combined to cut down the need for them.
Absolutely not/ The Frisco will continue to maintain the
same tine freight service it now offers through this territory,
but it will be relieved of the burden of operating passenger
trains that are an absolute economic loss to the Company.
The Post Office Department has given assurance that
adrepnite mail service will be provided the post offices
served by these two |iasscnger trains.
Definitely not/ The Frisco will continue to pay the same
amount of taxes it now pays through each of the
counties these trains now operate. Your schools, your
various forms of goverment will continue to
benefit from Frisco’s tax payments just as they do now.
We Mins ie public will understand our position and agree
with us that there is no other alternative to removing these
non-paying revenue-sapping trains. We believe that you would
prefer to have a healthy railway system serving you than
one whose strength was continually bring drawn off through
maintaining services which have ceased to be in public demand.
