A N N U A L REPORT

To T H E STOCKHOLDERS OF T H E N E W Y O R K C E N T R A L RAILROAD C O M P A N Y :

The business of the Company during 1941 continued to be influenced largely by the expanding program of National Defense. Total operating revenues were $447,789,655, exceeding those of 1940 by $77,243,780—or 20.85 per cent.

Throughout the year it was again demonstrated that, despite the development of other facilities, the railroads remain the country's chief agency of transportation.

Additional and improved facilities and equipment have made it possible for the Com­pany to handle efficiently the largely increased traffic occasioned by the war economy.

The balance sheet, detailed statements of the income and profit and loss accounts, and other statistical tables appear herein commencing on page 12.

Income account

The principal items of the income account, with dollar and percentage increase over 1940, were—

Increase-Freight revenue $336,878,403 $66,604,375 24.64% Passenger revenue 66,609,863 7,287,718 12.28 Total operating revenues 447,789,655 77,243,780 20.85 Operating expenses 331,438,111 52,763,131 18.93 Railway tax accruals 43,411,829 9,935,810 29.68 Equip, and joint fac. rents—net debit 15,520,955 1,178,516 8.22 Net railway operating income 57,418,760 13,366,323 30.34 Other income 19,083,788 900,672 4.95 Fixed charges 48,805,772 177,082 D .36 D Net income 26,245,562 14,980,478 132.98

D—Decrease.

Operating results Freight

The transportation of revenue freight increased 25,316,777 tons—18.54 per cent—to a total of 161,865,972 tons.

Measured in ton mile units (one ton carried one mile), all freight transported, both revenue and non-revenue, was greater by 23.97 per cent, with an increase of only 15.43 per cent in freight train miles.

Automobile traffic amounted to 2,967,145 tons, a gain of 460,100 tons, or 18.35 per cent, over 1940, with gross revenue of $19,763,114, an increase of $2,433,749—14.04 per

2

cent. Except for the curtailment of passenger automobile production during the latter part of 1941, the increase would probably have been greater.

The ex-lake movement of grain from Buffalo to the various North Atlantic ports amounted to 12,273,427 bushels, compared with 4,461,774 bushels during 1940, indicating a material increase of grain exportation.

Bituminous coal traffic for the year was 62,317,794 tons, exceeding 1940 by 5,042,418 tons—8.80 per cent, and gross revenue was $71,704,286, an increase of $6,506,648—9.98 per cent.

The iron ore handled for the year amounted to 9,671,539 tons compared with 8,107,992 tons handled in 1940, an increase of 1,563,547 tons, or 19.28 per cent. Tonnage handled from Lake Erie ports was 8,090,506 gross tons, compared with 6,848,837 gross tons in 1940, an increase of 1,241,669 gross tons, or 18.13 per cent.

Iron and steel traffic totaled 10,251,149 tons, which was above the 1940 figure by 2,844,411 tons—38.40 per cent, and gross revenue was $34,161,927, an increase of $9,817,308 —40.33 per cent.

Less-than-carload freight handled totaled 2,402,679 tons, and exceeded 1940 by 686,599 tons, or 40.01 per cent, with revenue of $24,228,464, an increase of $7,100,507, or 41.46 per cent.

By classes, compared with 1940, the tonnage and the revenues before deduction for absorbed switching, overcharges, etc., of all commodities, were:

T O T A L 161,865,972 25,316,777 1352,491,996 $70,535,999

Passenger

The total number of passengers carried was 49,324,576, an increase of 1,792,854, or 3.77 per cent. Interline and local passengers were above the previous year's figure by 890,019—33.46 per cent, and 1,876,186—11.45 per cent, respectively. Commutation passengers decreased compared with 1940, by 973,351, or 3.42 per cent. Passengers carried one mile totaled 3,508,301,326, exceeding the 1940 figure by 461,006,671, or 15.13 per cent.

The increased passenger traffic was largely due to the expanded industrial activity and movement of military personnel.

An outstanding improvement in our passenger service was the inauguration of the stainless steel streamlined Empire State Express on December 7, 1941, operating between New York, Buffalo, Cleveland, and Detroit. In addition, 66 new streamlined coaches were placed in service on the principal through trains.

Operating expenses

The continuation of an enlarged maintenance program and larger force required to handle the greater volume of traffic, accompanied by higher wages and material costs,

Page 6: The New York Central Railroad Company

resulted in increased expenses of $52,763,131, or 18.93 per cent, over the previous year. The advance in rates of pay of employees, effective during the last four months of the year, amounted to $7,788,915.

By groups, expenses for 1941, compared with 1940, were as follows:

Maintenance of way and structures Maintenance of equipment Traffic Transportation Miscellaneous operations General

Transportation for investment—credit

The maintenance of way and structures group reflects increases in most of the accounts, due mainly to the enlarged maintenance program and increased material costs. Higher wages amounting to $1,456,877, were also a contributing factor. The number of crossties installed exceeded the number in the previous year by about 25 per cent, while track miles of new and relayer rail laid increased about 22 per cent and 32 per cent, respectively. The comparatively mild winter resulted in decreased expenditures for removal of snow, ice, and sand of $798,951.

Total locomotive and car miles increased 12,791,397, or 11.16 per cent, and 373,784,400, or 15.94 per cent, respectively, over 1940. In keeping with the greater demand for loco­motives and cars during 1941 and the expected increased demand during 1942, the expendi­tures in the maintenance of equipment group show substantial increases for the majority of accounts. Higher wages account for $1,681,021, and increased material costs for approxi­mately $1,629,165. The number of locomotives which received classified repairs was 1,427, compared with 1,030 during the preceding year; and 27,599 freight cars were given medium and heavy repairs, as compared with 20,681 in 1940.

Traffic expenses were higher than in the previous year by $71,168, due primarily to increased wages.

In the transportation group most of the accounts show increases, largely because of the expanded volume of traffic handled and the wage adjustment, which latter item amounted to $4,087,007. Net ton miles of all freight handled in freight trains increased 7,789,831,213, or 23.97 per cent. Higher fuel costs accounted for an increase of approxi­mately $1,407,886.

Charges for miscellaneous operations exceeded the previous year by $840,510. Most of this is represented in the cost of operating dining and buffet service, which increased $740,748, with food costs approximately 23 per cent higher. The cost of operating grain elevators was above the year 1940 by $81,232. The wage increase for this group amounts to $181,946.

General expenses were above the 1940 charge by $782,203, increased wage rates ac­counting for $264,725.

The outstanding operating performance during 1941 is reflected in the following: Gross ton miles per freight train hour (the unit of performance indicating both train

load and speed) were 39,544, the highest on record, while net ton miles per freight train hour set a new high of 16,962. Average miles per freight car day (a measure of car use) increased approximately 17.88 per cent over the previous year. Average revenue train load increased 7.52 per cent over 1940. Fuel consumed during the year per 1,000 gross ton miles in freight train service was 100 pounds, or a reduction of 1.96 per cent compared with 1940.

Wage negotiations

As a result of demands made on the railroads by the various labor organizations for wage increases, including vacations with pay for certain of the non-operating employees, and the failure to reach a satisfactory agreement following protracted negotiations by the representatives of railroads and employees, the former invoked the services of the National Mediation Board pursuant to the Railway Labor Act. Conferences held by the Board came to an end when the employees declined to accept the Board's proposal to arbitrate. On September 10, 1941, the President of the United States appointed an Emergency Board which conducted hearings between September 16 and October 22, and on November 5, 1941, reported to the President recommending temporary wage increases. The recom­mendations of that Board were accepted by the railroads, but declined by the employees. On November 27 the President reconvened the Board, and the latter acting in the capacity of mediators effected an agreement on December 5, confirming increases originally awarded effective between September 1 and November 30, with further permanent increases effec­tive December 1, including vacations with pay for non-operating groups.

The estimated annual increased cost to the Company on the basis of the 1941 payrolls includes wage increases, $27,268,400; vacations (effective January 1, 1942), $2,500,000; additional payroll taxes (unemployment and retirement), $1,729,200; a total of $31,497,600 —or 15.1 per cent.

Freight and passenger rates

The Company joined with substantially all railroads of the United States in an appli­cation filed December 13, 1941, with the Interstate Commerce Commission for authority to increase freight rates and accessorial charges and passenger fares by ten per cent, with certain exceptions. At the close of the year this application was still pending before that Commission.

Railway tax accruals

Railway taxes for the year (a schedule of which will be found on pages 30-31) aggre­gated $43,411,829, an increase of $9,935,810, or 29.68 per cent compared with 1940. Taxes amounted to 9.7 cents for each dollar of operating revenue, or $6.73 per share of stock.

The increase of $6,699,751 in the items of Federal and Canadian income, surtax and excess profits taxes was caused by greater earnings and higher tax rates. The increase in Federal tax on capital stock was due to a higher declared value and increased rate. The charges for unemployment insurance tax and retirement excise tax were above the 1940

Page 8: The New York Central Railroad Company

figure by $1,937,226, by reason of the larger number of employees and the higher compensa­tion paid during the year. The decrease of $1,089,563 shown for taxes on real and personal property was brought about by an adjustment of over-accruals in prior years.

Other income

Other income increased $900,672 over the previous year. Income from separately operated properties, dividends, interest, and miscellaneous items increased by $2,076,730, partially offset by a decrease of $1,176,058 in rent and other income from non-operating physical properties and in miscellaneous items.

Fixed charges

The decrease of $177,082 in this item as compared with the preceding year is explained as follows:

Rent for leased roads and equipment was in excess of 1940 by $353,061. The major increases were in amounts payable to The Mahoning Coal Railroad Company, $342,399, and The Peoria and Eastern Railway Company, $359,315. Offsetting in part are decreases of $110,050 and $14,529 on account of the discontinuance, by agreement, of rental payments to the Lake Erie, Alliance & Wheeling and the Joliet and Northern Indiana railroad companies, respectively; $166,192 because of maturity and reacquirement of bonds of The Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway Company; and $12,926 by reason of matured equipment trust certificates.

Interest on funded debt was above the previous year by $125,685. There was an increase in interest charges of $173,333 on the Company's secured notes held by several banks, due to change in classification when notes were renewed April 30, 1940; $22,688 on account of the lyi per cent equipment trust of 1939; $74,534 on account of the 2 per cent equipment trust of 1940, due to full year's interest in 1941 as compared to partial year's interest in 1940; $171,462 on account of the per cent equipment trust of February 15, 1941; and $147,187 on account of the I1/, per cent equipment trust of July 15, 1941. As a partial offset, there were the following decreases: $52,231 due to the acquisition of the Company's 4 per cent debenture bonds of 1912; $105,546 by reason of the retirement of $4,041,000 ten-year 3^4 per cent bonds through the operation of the sinking fund; $77,250 by the retirement of $3,000,000 of the Company's serial secured notes; $70,495 by the retirement on April 1 of $5,000,000 secured promissory 2 per cent notes due September 1; $144,695 from payment of maturing equipment obligations; and $13,302 from other minor items.

Interest on unfunded debt was less by $655,828, accounted for largely by the inclusion under this head during a portion of 1940 of interest on bank loans which were carried as current liabilities prior to the renewal and extension of $16,000,000 thereof during 1940, after which they were classified as funded debt.

Net income

The net income for the year as indicated by the foregoing summary of the income account, was $26,245,562, which was transferred to the profit and loss account.

Depreciation of Boston and Albany Railroad property

In order to properly adjust the accounts to reflect a ruling by the Department of Public Utilities of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in respect to depreciation on property leased from the Boston and Albany Railroad Company, $4,506,911 was included in expenses for maintenance of way and structures representing depreciation accrued from July 1,1927, to December 31,1941, on certain leased property of that company and $254,133 in expenses for maintenance of equipment representing depreciation accrued during the same period on certain power plant machinery. In addition, a net amount of $2,526,075 previously carried in other investments—advances, was charged to profit and loss in order to pro­vide for the amount of depreciation, as found by the Department of Public Utilities, which had accrued from the date of the lease to July 1, 1927. Current depreciation to be charged to operating expenses will approximate $300,000 per year.

Liquidation of The Securities Corporation of the New York Central Railroad

The assets of The Securities Corporation of the New York Central Railroad, a wholly owned subsidiary, were in November, 1941, transferred to the Company. These assets> which were held in the interest of the Company, consisted principally of shares of stock of The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company which had been acquired in 1929-1931 at an aggregate cost of $17,294,882 in connection with the so-called four-party plan of consolidation of Eastern railroads under which the Lackawanna Railroad was assigned to the New York Central System; and advances in connection with the acquisition of stock of the United States Freight Company, a large freight forwarding company, acquired in 1929-1931 at an aggregate cost of $14,843,248. Following such transfers, the Securities Corporation was dissolved.

The difference between the Company's investment in the Securities Corporation and the current estimated market value of the assets taken over, amounting to $26,842,643, was charged to profit and loss.

Stockholders

At the end of 1941 the capital stock of the Company was owned by 61,501 holders (an average holding of 104.83 shares), a decrease of 844 holders compared with Decem­ber 31, 1940.

Funded debt

Changes in the funded debt of the Company, in detail, were as follows:

The amount outstanding on December 31, 1940 $648,732,200

During the year an additional 101 passenger-carrying cars and 11 dining cars were air-conditioned. The air-conditioning of 160 additional passenger-carrying cars during the year 1942 has been authorized.

West Side, New York City With the completion of the reconstruction of the yard easterly of Eleventh Avenue

between 30th and 33rd Streets, the entire improvement started in 1929 between Spuyten Duyvil and St. John's Park, including the elimination of 105 grade crossings and the longi­tudinal occupation of city streets, is now finished.

Grand Central Terminal Area New Travel Bureaus were installed adjacent to the ticket offices fronting on the

waiting room in the terminal for the purpose of affording more convenient and commodious facilities to the traveling public.

Grade Crossing Eliminations and Reconstruction of Bridges The program for the elimination of grade crossings of highways and reconstruction of

existing highway bridges with funds supplied mostly by the Federal Government and involving relatively small contributions on the part of the railroad company, has been continued, and 11 eliminations and 7 reconstruction projects have been completed, and 9 eliminations and 1 reconstruction project are under way.

Under the grade crossing laws of the State of New York, 28 crossings on this Com­pany's line have been eliminated, including the completion of the major grade crossing project on the main line at Dunkirk, and the work of eliminating 12 grade crossings, includ­ing a major grade separation on the main line at Herkimer, is under way. Under an arrange­ment with the State of Michigan and the City of Dearborn, the elimination of the grade crossings at Military Avenue was completed.

Construction of Industrial Tracks Industrial or spur tracks were constructed during the year at a number of different

points in order to serve large and important plants and facilities established as a part of the National Defense program.

Mileage operated

The mileage operated by the Company at the end of the year, compared with the previous year, was as follows:

1941 1940 Miles Miles Miles

Main line and branches 3,634.00 3,653.88 19.88 Dec. Leased lines and lines operated under contract 6,465.62 6,464.96 .66 Inc. Trackage rights 818.14 822.05 3.91 Dec.

Total 10,917.76 10,940.89 23.13 Dec.

The changes indicated in the foregoing table are due principally to the abandonment

Page 13: The New York Central Railroad Company

of unprofitable mileage and the reclassification of certain other trackage. Abandonments included 6.61 miles of the Fayette Branch in Michigan and Ohio, and 10.22 miles of the Canada Southern from Niagara Junction to Chippawa, Ontario.

Pensions

There were 539 retired officers and employees receiving pensions under the Company's supplementary pension system at the close of the year, payments by the Company in these cases representing the amount by which the pension computed under the Company plan exceeds the maximum of $120 per month allowable under the Railroad Retirement Act. The total amount paid by the Company in supplementary pensions during the year was $359,735.

Valor medals

Since 1926 the Company has awarded medals in recognition of outstanding valor by employees who, at the risk of their lives, saved others. During the year medals were presented to:

Lester L . Ziler, Brakeman, Ansonia, Ohio, and Verne C. Frizzell, Fireman, 11226 E . Michigan Avenue, Jackson, Michigan.

The war calls for the utmost in the way of effort and cooperation on the part of the transportation industry and, so far as the personnel of the New York Central System is concerned, we are confident that it will fully discharge its responsibility. The improvement of facilities, and additions to equipment made during the year, with the additional equip­ment ordered for future delivery, will, it is believed, enable the Company to do its part in meeting the transportation needs of the Country.

The Board records its appreciation of the whole-hearted and efficient manner in which the officers and employees have carried out the duties assigned to them.

For the Board of Directors,

President.
