Steam equipment which has become obsolete on main line has been relegated to branch where it is continued in service at exorbitant cost for maintenance and unwarranted expense for operation; on branch line of one railroad, deficit of $36,000 was changed into profit of $102,000, by substituting gasoline-electric rail cars for steam trains.
