Minneapolis 14, Minn. 239 1963 Please be referred to my letter of March 22, 1963 wherein I respectfully requested that letters be written to the Interstate Commerce Commission protesting the proposed discontinuance of Soo Line passenger trains 13 -149 St. Paul to Portal, North Dakota. I am pleased to report-that a hearing has been set for St. Paul at the Federal Court Building on May 20, 19639_, 9:30 a.m.; on May 22, County Court House, Glenwood, Minnesota, 9:30 a.m.; and on May 23 at the Armory, Harvey, North Dakota, 10 a.m. You will recall in 1961 the Soo Line Railroad petitioned the Interstate Commerce Commission to discontinue these same trains. Hearings were held at the same locations as stated above and it was'later ruled by the Inter- state Commerce Commission that the operation of these passenger trains is required by public "convenience and necessity" and would not unduly burden interstate commerce. These trains in question are the last remaining passenger trains serving many communities and the public in a great area in Minnesota, and an earnest and sincere attempt should be made to save them. These trains are of a great deal of..use the Twin Cities. A and out of the Twin these facilities in to their rural Gust, vital importance to the Twin Cities as records show is made of them in bringing people into and out of large amount of mail, baggage and'expresss flows into Cities on these trains. Twin Cities businesses use' shipping out huge amounts of merchandise and goods :)mers. For the above reasons and many more these passenger trains are vital not only to the communities and public along the line but to the Twin Cities as well. I now respectfully request that you will approach the City Council for the purpose of securing a resolution from that body in opposition to this proposed discontinuance and further request that your City be represented in opposition at the hearing. I want to thank you in advance for your attention in this matter. Very sin4ell E. E. Berglun, - Treas. c.c.

RIORDAN Council Recorder The City Council referred to you for study and to protect the best interests of the city and its inhabitants the attached letter of Leonard H. Murray, President of the Soo Line Railroad Company and the information thereto attached. Very truly yours,, City Clerk CITY OF SAINT PAUL - MINNESOTA 8 INE LEONARD H. MURRAY PRESIDENT SOO LINE RAILROAD COMPANY , SOO LINE BWLDING MINNEAPOLIS 40, MINNESOTA April 22, 1963 St. Paul City Council Court House St. Paul 2, Minnesota Gentlemen: The Soo Line has instituted proceedings for discontinuance of its passenger trains numbered 13 and 14 operating daily between St. Paul, Minn. and Portal, N. D. A statement show- ing the losses incurred by the Company in operating the trains, the reasons for discontinuance, and the use of the trains by the public is enclosed. If you will turn to page 9 of Exhibit No. 4 incorporated in. the statement, you will find that during 1962 the average number of passengers getting on train 13 (westbound) at St. Paul was 3. 06 (see column (d) of said exhibit). Similarly, if you will turn to page 12 of Exhibit No. 4, you will find that on the average train 14 brought 2. 49 passengers to St. Paul each trip (see column (f)). Thus you can see that one automobile entering or leaving the city limits can handle all the people which the trains carry in and out of St. Paul. The metro system of mail instituted throughout western Minnesota and the whole state of North Dakota handles most of the mail moving in Soo territory. Under this system mail is moved to metropolitan centers such as Minot and Fargo and dis- tribution is made from those points to local areas by highway vehicles. Mail moving from North Dakota points to St. Paul generally moves by highway vehicle from the point of origin to the metropolitan centers and then by rail or air to destination. Our Company has had to curtail maintenance and capital expenditures because of the severe competition between the rail- roads, trucks, air lines, and water carriers. This curtailment has meant a reduction in the number of employes engaged -in maintenance, and to some extent of those who are ercaoPri in operating the trains. We are certain that St. Paul i ��Q S St. Paul City Council, #2 April 22, 1963 in strong common carrier transportation facilities, and this Company will be much better able to fill the freight transporta- tion requirements of the area which it serves, including St. Paul, if it is relieved of the annual deficits incurred by operating these trains. I should add that notwithstanding the discontinuance of trains 13 and 14 the Soo will continue to maintain passenger train service between St. Paul and Glenwood, Minn. and Winnipeg, Manitoba through its trains numbered 9 and 10. 1 do not want to infer that these trains will continue to operate indefinitely, because they, too, are losing money. However, for the time being, at least, passenger train service between St. Paul, Glenwood and Winnipeg will be continued.

MURRAY President and 14 (eastbound) daily between St. Paul, Minnesota and Portal, North Dakota. The trains carry passengers, mail, express and baggage. Schedule & Route: Statement Exhibit 1. attached hereto and hereby made part hereof shows the current schedule cf said trains and the communities which they serve. Attached hereto marked Statement Exhibit 2 and hereby made part hereof is a map showing the route of trains 13 and 14. Equipment: Since January 7, 1963 both trains generally consist of a Diesel- electric locomotive, one combination mail and express car, one baggage car, and one air-conditioned coach. Prior to January 7, 1963 both trains included a sleeping car but it averaged less than 1 passenger per trip and was discontinued. Except as hereinafter stated, train No. 13 is consolidated with Soo Liners train No. 9 between. St. Paul, Minnesota and Glenwood, Minnesota, and train No. 14 is r,,onsolidated with train No. 10 between Glenwood, Minnesota and St. Paul, Minne' ota. Soo Line trains numbered 9 and 10 operate daily between St. Paul, Minnesota and Noyes, Minnesota, and. Canadian Pacific Railway Company operates said trains between.Noyes, Minnesota and. Winnipeg, Manitoba. During the summer of 1962, trains 9 and 10 carried a substantial number of tour parties to and from the northwestern part of Canada and said trains could not be consolidated with trains 13 and 14 between St. Paul and Glenwood. Carrier's Proposal: Soo Line proposes complete discontinuance of the operation of said trains 13 and 14 on April 15, 1963. .(d). REASONS FOR PROPOSED DISCONTINUANCE: The trains. should,be discontinued because: -2- ,(1) The Soo Line. sustained out -of pocket losses of $353, 000 in 1960, $294, 000 in 1961, and $255, 000 in the first 11 months of 1962. (As of this date, actual revenues and.expenses are not yet available for the period subsequent to November 30, 1962. ) (2) Zn 1962 trains 13 and 14 respectively averaged 6. 25 and 6. 27 passengers per train mile. (3) In 1962 the crew averaged 7 men per train mile and therefore exceeded the average number of passengers on said trains. With the sleeping, car eliminated the crew averages 6 men, per train mile. (4) ; The Soo Line needs the money, which it loses annually on these trains for maintenance of its track, equipment and acquisition of new equipment. The annual out -of- pocket loss incurred in the operation of said trains, unless eliminated forthwith, will impair the ability of the Soo Line to render adequate and. suitable service to, the area it serves, including North Dakota and Minnesota, which must be provided by the Soo Line for the economic strength and growth of this territory. The losses incurred on said, trains have been and continue to be a burden on the financial strength. and vigor of the company and have and continue to decrease the ability of the company to upgrade its plant and equipment. -3= (5) The mail, express, milk and.cream. carried by said passenger trains can be handled efficiently by other transportation means. Practically all of the express handled by the train could either be shipped parcel post or less -than- carload freight. Milk R and cream can move as less - than - carload. freight or by highway milk tankers. With the metro system of mail fully established in the territory served by trains 13 and 14, the Post Office Department should have no difficulty in handling 13 and 14's mail efficiently and economically. Substantially all of the first - class mail is currently moving in and out of the cities and villages served by trains 13 and 14 by over =the -road star routes. r A large number of the towns served by the trains have two star route intercity mail pickups and deliveries in each direction each dam. The remaining towns have at least one star route highway pickup and delivery of mail each day. _(6) The Soo Line'-s highway freight competitors, who derive substantial revenue from the territory, served by said trains, do not operate passenger service or incur substantial losses in operating passenger vehicles. (7) Huge expenditures made by the federal and, state governments -4- V for highways and airports, coupled with a substantial increase in the number of private cars in the area, have made the service offered by said trains comparatively inconvenient, cumbersome and obsolete. (8) In 1962 summer tours formerly handled by 13 and 14 to and from Canada were diverted to Soo Line trains 9 and 10 because the Board of Transport Commissioners for Canada authorized dis- continuance of passenger trains to and from Mortal, North Dakota, where said tour business was formerly interchanged.. (9) The losses incurred by the Soo Line in operating trains. 13 and 14 are a burden on interstate commerce and public convenience and necessity does not require operation of said trains in the future. (e) THE RAILROADS WITH WHICH.INTERCHANGM OF PASSENGERS IS POSSIBLE AND THE POINTS OF INTERCHANGE,: Trains 13 and 14 do not handle any passenger train equipment which operates in through service with any, other carriers or with other trains operated by the Soo Line. The trains operate in and out of Minneapolis and St. Paul where passengers, mail and express may transfer to. or from trains. of the following: Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad Company Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, Railroad. Company Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Company Chicago and North Western, Railway Company -5- Northern Pacific Railway Company Great Northern Railway Company Chicago Great Western Railway Company Interchange is also available for passengers, mail and express at Valley City, North Dakota with the Northern Pacific Railway Company and at Minot, North Dakota with the Great Northern Railway Company. (f) DESCRIPTION OF OTHER COMMON CARRIER. SERVICE: Other Service Rendered by Soo Line: Between Glenwood, Minnesota and Portal, North Dakota trains 13 and 14 are the only passen- ger train service rendered by the Soo Line. As stated above, Soo Line trains 9 and 10 operate between St. Paul and Glenwood, Minnesota, and except for the summer tour season are generally consolidated with trains 13 and 14. If trains 13 and 14 are discontinued, Soo Line trains 9 and 10 will continue to provide passenger train service between St. Paul and Glenwood until such time as appropriate public authorities authorize their discontinuance. Service Rendered by Other Common Carriers: Statement Exhibit No. 3 attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof shows pass- enger service rendered by other common carriers between and at the points described in the Notice. Statement Exhibit No. 2 attached shows the routes of Great Northern Railway Company and Northern Pacific Railway Company passenger trains in Soo Line territory. (g) TRAFFIC TRANSPORTED BY TRAINS 13 AND 14 IN 1960, 1961 AND 1962: The above information is contained in Statement Exhibit 4 attached -6- hereto and hereby made part hereof, except that said Statement Exhibit 4 does not show the number of mail, express and baggage units transport- ed by said trains because such information is not available. However, the gross revenue obtained from the transportation of mail, express and I baggage by trains 13 and 14 is indicative 'of the volume so transported and said revenues are contained in Exhibit 5 attached hereto. Passenger statistics shown on Statement Exhibit 4 were obtained from all tickets andfares collected by conductors during the periods covered by the exhibit. Statis- tics covering the period subsequent to December 31, 1962 are not avail- able as of the date of this Statement. (h) FINANCIAL RESULTS OF OPERATING TRAINS DURING 1960, 1961, AND FIRST 11 MONTHS OF 1962: Since January 1, 1960, Soo Line and its predecessor have continu- ously collected monthly data relating to the revenues obtained from the operation of said trains. During the same period expenses have been calculated periodically. Attached hereto and made a part hereof is Statement Exhibit 5 which records the revenues and expenses incurred in operating said trains in the calendar years 1960, 1961 and for the first eleven months of 1962. Certain items of revenue and expenses subsequent to November 30, 1962 are not available as of the date of this Statement. Revenues and expenses recorded on Statement Exhibit 5 were determined as follows: -7- Line 2, "Passenger Revenue'': Actual revenue earned by the Soo Line determined from the actual tickets and cash fares collected by the conductors. Line 3, "Sleeping Cars": Revenue from Soo Line sleeping cars was determined from the actual tickets collected by the conductors. The revenues shown on this line do not include revenues for space in sleeping cars operated by the Pullman Company because Pullman sleeping car bills for operation exceeded revenues and the net figure is recorded on Line 26 under "Expenses ". No Pullman sleeping cars were operated in 13 and 14 during 1962. Line 4, "Mail Revenue ": Shows the actual revenues paid to the Soo Line by the United States Postal Service. Line 5, "Express ": Shows revenues which were determined by c applying the car foot miles allowed by Railway Express Agency for space in trains 13 and 14 and applying the percentage of said car foot miles to total car foot miles and using such percentage to determine that part of the total payments received from the Express Agency which reflected space assigned to the Express Agency in said trains. Line 6, "Milk ": Shows the actual earnings determined from the waybills covering milk and other dairy products handled on said trains. Line 7, "Dining and Buffet ": Those actually reported by the stewards in charge of the dining car. No dining cars were operated by the Soo Line in these trains after the end of the 1961 tour season. Line 8, "All other ": Includes actual revenues for transportation IM of bodies and pillow rentals; and also includes revenues obtained from transportation of newspapers established by an analysis of such revenues for a representative test period. Lines 12 through 16, "Wages, etc. ": Actual payments made on daily time slips rendered by the crews, with proper additives to cover vacation and payroll taxes. Wages recorded on lines 12 through 15 include a proportion of the wages paid between St. Paul and Glenwood during the periods trains 13 and 14 were consolidated, respectively, with trains 9 and 10. The proportion so recorded represents the ratio that the units of equipment handled for trains 13 and 14 bore to the total units handled in the consolidated trains. Line 16 is the net amount paid by the Soo Line for train baggageman and helpers after crediting payments made to the Soo Line by Railway Express Agency. Lines 18 through 24: The expenses shown on these lines are unitized costs which the Interstate Commerce Commission has approved as the proper way in determining said costs. Line 25, "Sleeping Car Operations ": Shows the actual wages paid to porters, plus additives for vacation pay, payroll taxes and health and welfare premiums, as well as actual costs for laundry and supplies. This line also includes payments to the Canadian Pacific for proportion of wages for sleeping car conductors (in 1960 and 1961 only) and rental pay- ments to Canadian Pacific for sleeping cars operated during said two years. Line 26, "Pullman Company Operations ": The Pullman Company's ML' statements of revenues and expenses are not allocated to individual trains. The expense recorded in this line has been determined on a unitized basis. No Pullman sleeping cars were operated in said trains in 1962. Line 27, "Dining Car Operations": Expense recorded is the actual wages, including vacation pay, payroll taxes and health and welfare premiums, plus the actual cost of supplies. Line 28, "Station Labor ": Shows the actual amounts paid to station employees incurred solely because of the operation of said trains, plus payroll taxes, vacation pay and health and welfare premiums. Line 29, "General Office Expense ": If the trains are discontinued the Soo Line will be able to eliminate one clerk because the ticket account- ing, mail revenue, and the accounting required as to other revenues will be eliminated. (In 1960 and 1961 regular business and the summer tour traffic required three clerks in the accounting department and, there- fore, the 1962 expense in this respect is limited to only one clerk. ) Lines 30 through 33, "Joint Facilities ": Expenses shown on these lines show the net savings which the Soo Line would obtain if trains 13 and 14 were discontinued. Gross savings were determined by calculating the expenses which were charged to Soo Line by the owner on a use basis, Elimination of said 13 and 14 units would result in an increased unit charge for each Soo Line unit in other Soo Line trains thereafter using the facili- ties. This increased charge was deducted from the gross charges and the net is recorded on these lines as the actual savings which the Soo Line -10- would obtain if the trains were discontinued. The expenses shown on these lines do not include any rentals or expenses which the Soo Line will be compelled to pay notwithstanding the fact trains 13 and 14 no longer use the facilities. Line 34, "Services United States Department of Immigration and Naturalization ": Actual payments made to the Department for services rendered in 1960 and 1961. No expense of this nature was incurred during 1962 because the tour business no longer moved through Portal, North Dakota. Line 35, "Outside Agencies ": Shows commissions paid to rail travel promotion agencies in connection with sales of tour tickets in 1960 and 1961. No commissions were paid in 1962. Line 36, "Minnesota Gross Earnings Tax ": State of Minnesota collects a gross earnings tax of 57o on all rail transportation revenues. Expense recorded on this line is the actual tax paid to the State of Minnesota on revenues derived from the operation of trains 13 and 14. Joint Facility Expenses. Line 30 on Statement Exhibit 5 attached hereto shows expenses in- curred, because trains 13 and 14 used St. Paul Union Depot Company facilities, after an adjustment to reflect the increased unitized cost which the Soo Line might be compelled to pay, after said trains are discontinued, because of reduced total units using said facilities. The Commission in some cases has indicated that an expense of this nature will not be con- sidered in determining avoidable loss because of the possibility that the -11- expense will be thrust on the remaining users of the facilities. The Soo Line Accounting Department has made a study of the effect of said expense on the charges borne by other carriers using St. Paul Union Depot facili- ties. Upon the assumption that the St. Paul Union Depot Company will not be able to reduce variable expenses which are charged to the tenants on a unitized basis (an assumption which we think is unwarranted), the other tenants of the St. Paul Union Depot Company would have had the following increased rentals and reduced net incomes in 1962 if trains 13 and 14 had not operated during that year: Milwaukee C &NW GN NP CGW CB &Q Rock Island 1962 Net Income $2,655,443 1,908,000 25, 018, 986 20, 300, 534 1,149,651 20, 412, 904 6,578,058 Inc hems e� dd511ot charges if 13 and 14 had been discontinued 1962 Adjusted net income (with no adjustment for Federal income taxes) $16,975 $2,638,468 376 1, 907, 6.24 9, 929 25, 009, 057 7,032 20, 293, 502 2,529 1,147,122 4,028 20, 408, 876 4,347 6,573,711 The 1962 net income of the remaining users of Milwaukee Road facile ities (line 31 of Statement Exhibit 5) would have been further reduced to $2, 618, 420 for the Milwaukee and $6, 564, 36.4 for the Rock Island, if 13 and 14 had not operated in 1962. In preparing the table and making the foregoing computations, the reductions in net income of other carriers has necessarily reflected only the expenses which would have been "shifted" for the first 11 months of 1962 shown in Statement Exhibit No. 5; in other words, expenses which would have been shifted during the full calendar year would have been slightly greater than those shown in the above table. The Soo Line believes that even if St. Paul Union Depot Company and the Milwaukee Railroad are unable to reduce expenses after trains 13 and 14 are eliminated, the resulting increased unitized costs which will be borne by the other carriers using the St. Paul Union Depot Com- pany's facilities and the Milwaukee's facilities would not constitute an undue burden on their operations or on interstate commerce.
