decided to build a Class I railroad out of his own pocket, which was exceedingly well lined with Standard Oil millions. Right through the Panic of 1907 he continued to sink those millions into what is now the Virginian Railway, a 600-mi. line running from deep water at Hampton Roads, Va. through the Pocahontas and New River coal fields to West Deepwater, W.

Between the coal fields and deep water its route is the shortest, its grades the easiest And its operating ratio, prime index of railroad efficiency, is the lowest of any major U. S. carrier (last year: 46%). Chesapeake & Ohio, another model road with enormous coal tonnage, is proud of a ratio between outgo and intake on operations...
