But this fact must not be overlooked-4it costs money to operate a train a^d it must have sufficient revenue passeftgers to justify the expense of operation. So, if our cofnmuters desire'these trains to be continued they must pat roni?e them. The railroad can't afford to ojverate the trains'th»? year around just for the revenue derived during the stim: mer months; it costs tli$ same to operate ain win ter as in the summer, sometiifles morej due to mefeuiefifci r^eiE^her conditions.' . .. ^ '.v.' - Therefore, it pledge their full }mtronagt* fo ttie North Western- particularly for trains Nos. 622 and 6S1, and furthermore, it is ^accessary that they .adhere to that pledge: For, as it has already been stated, it is a costly and unprofitable veilrul^ re to operate a train without any passengers.
