Missouri Pacific will probably be $8,000,000 in the red; Rock Island was $13,000,000. But Norfolk & Western made $33,000,000 in 1936 as against $25,000,000 year before, Chesapeake & Ohio $43.000,000 as against $31,000,000, Pennsylvania $38,000,000 as against $23,000,000, Nickel Plate $7,000.000 as against $1,000,000.
