IT would be well if people generally understood the true meaning of a railroad report. To most it is a meaningless mass of unintelligible figures which are undecipherable and generally confusing. In order to assist the general reader to a proper understanding of the matter the following pages are offered in explanation of the manner in which a railroad report is built up. An effort to exhibit in a skeletonized form the anatomy of a railroad report will be made.

IN the short series of chapters which is here begun, an attempt will be made to set down and illustrate some of the main principles governing the transportation of freight by railroads in the United States. The primary object is to convey a clear idea of what is meant by the "Ton-mile," the "Train-mile," the "Unit of service," the "Unit of product," and the various other words and phrases commonly used to designate the main facts and, things in the Railroad industry. The secondary object is to indicate the relations of these things to one another with the view of outlining the principal factors governing the economy of the industry.
