510 COMMERCE YEARBOOK increased efficiency in railway operation has resulted from the coop- eration of the shippers and receivers of freight, and other groups associated with transportation. During 1925 the average daily movement per freight car was 28.3 miles, over 514 per cent greater than in 1924, and 1.8 per cent greater than the previous best year’s record in 1923. In October the average was 32.2 miles per day, 1.5 miles greater than during the best previous month, October, 1923. The average of car miles per car day has exceeded 30 miles during only five months in the. history of the rail- roads. The idle cars, serviceable and unserviceable, are included in the data on which these averages are based, so the actual mileage of the freight cars in use is greater than indicated. A high average in this item during a period with high car surplusages is thus indicative of even greater efficiency of operation than the figures alone show.
