N. Railway, . . 137,207 75
Loss in Company's Store, . 860 81

Leaving a deficit of .... $ 18,890 21
There has been spent in permanent improvements and
additions to property the sum of $6,520.81.
The Seaboard Air Line Belt Railroad, connecting the
Georgia, Carolina & Northern Railway with the Western &
Atlantic Railroad at "Wanda" Junction, has been built, and
in operation since November 23, 1892, giving the Georgia,
Carolina & Northern Railway a connection, through the
Western & Atlantic Railroad, with all roads at Atlanta,
and enabling us to do a through business, both passenger
and freight. We have also secured property in Atlanta for
our freight depot, which is located most advantageously in
a central position, and have arranged with the Western &
Atlantic Railroad to use their tracks to reach it, we giving
the use of one-half the depot, when built, for the use of their
tracks.
The past year has been one of great depression in the
entire country, and this Company has not been exempt
from its effects, but the cotton crop on the line is reported
better than it has been for the last two years, and we might
hope for a better business were it not for the strained con-dition
of the finances of the country and the continual
decrease in rates of freight and increase of taxation.
On May 7, 1893, the Seaboard Air Line, in conjunction
with the Atlantic Coast Line, the Richmond, Fredericks-burg
& Potomac Railroad, and the Pennsylvania Railroad,
have put on a fast Vestibule Express train, called the "Atlanta
Special," running from Washington, D. G, via Richmond
president's report. 9
and Welrloiij to Atlanta, Georgia, in twenty and one-half
hours. This train is one of the most attractive in the South,
and is composed of Pullman Vestibule Sleeping and Thor-oughfare
Cars, built by the 'Pullman Palace Car Company.
The several companies of the Seaboard Air Line have
entered into an agreement with each other, by resolution of
their respective Boards of Directors, to form a line to be
known as the "Seaboard Air Line," and, in order to reduce
expenses, to consolidate the working into a system under an
organization which has been approved by the respective
Boards of Directors, and is herewith submitted. By this
consolidation of work a large, saving will be made.
It becomes the painful duty of the Board to report to the
stockholders the death of our late President. Mr. John M.
Rpbinson, who departed this life February 14, 1893. The
following resolution was passed by the Directors of this
Company, which will express their sorrow at his loss:
The Board of Directors of the Raleigh & Gaston Railroad Company
have heard with profound regret of the death of John M. Robinson, for
many years its President, which sad event occurred at his residence in
the city of Baltimore on the 14th inst. In the early morning of that day
the record of a busy and useful life was closed. The long and distin-guished
services of Mr. Robinson, his untiring zeal and great ability,
which finds its best evidence in the Seaboard Air Line System of rail-roads,
of which this Company is a part, extending from Portsmouth, Va.,
to the city of Atlanta, Ga., renders it proper that this Board should place
on record an acknowledgment of his services and the expression of its
high appreciation of his eminent abilities. We lament his death as not
only involving official loss, but it comes to each one of us as a personal
sorrow.
The reports of the Vice-President and General Manager,
and the Treasurer's statements, together with the statement
of the Treasurer of the Georgia, Carolina & Northern Rail-way
Company, Lessees, are submitted with this report, and
furnish all information in detail.
This report is respectfully submitted by order of the Bdard.
R. C. HOFFMAN,
President.

While there has been a slight gain in receipts the
expenses have increased, the principal increase being due
to the unusually heavy repairs to locomotives and cars, and
the increased insurance and legal expenses, together with
the large outlay rendered necessary by the employment of
solicitors throughout the country.
During the year a considerable amount of ballasting has
been done, and all the road has now been ballasted with
rock or gravel, except about six miles. There has not been
as much ditching done as we had hoped, having to take off
the ditching train to reduce expenses as much as possible,
owing to the dullness of the times. We hope to resume
the train before winter, as there are places which must be
ditched before the winter season. The same applies to the
Louisburg branch.
The short trestles at the end of the bridge at Jeffrey's
Break have been thoroughly overhauled. Two culverts,
one near Kittrell and one near Vaughan, need repairs,
which will be made as soon as possible.
The track in the main is in good condition. There have
been 46,123 cross-ties put in during the year. We have on
hand for future use 21,982.
There have been two new pump-houses built, one at
Warren Plains and one at Littleton, and several tanks
raised to suit the height of the new engines.
12 VICE-PRESIDENT AND GENERAL MANAGER'S REPORT.
At Ridgeway the waiting-room for passengers has been
made more comfortable, at a slight cost. The other build-ings,
both passenger and freight, have been kept in repair.
At Raleigh a small transfer shed was erected, to enable the
transfer W freight, and thus reduce the number of cars in
trains for points South. A cotton platform was erected in
the northern part of the Raleigh }'ard for through cotton,
the Raleigh platform at the Compress being too small. At
Weldon there has been constructed a two-story house for
telegraph office, the joint property of the Raleigh & Gaston
and Seaboard & Roanoke Railroad Companies.
The passenger station at Raleigh was completed and
occupied August 21, 1892. This station is the property
of the Raleigh & Gaston, Raleigh & Augusta, North Caro-lina
and Richmond & Danville Railroads, and is one of the
most creditable stations I have seen South.
TONNAGE.
Whole tons of freight originating on this road carried
during the year, 47,138 tons; received from other roads,
231,877; total, 279,015.
MACHINE DEPARTMENT.
There have been eleven engines repaired belonging to
this Company, three belonging to. the Seaboard Air Line
equipment, and one for the Durham & Northern Railway.
Besides the ordinary repairs of engines unusual repairs
were made necessary owing to the fact that this road had
to supply engines for other roads in- the System, which
required those in service to do double work.
There was added to the machinery in the shops one 84-
inch lathe, at a cost of $4,144. There have been turned
out of the shops 410 axles, 90 of which went to the Carolina
Central Railroad. There were 755,621 pounds of castings
VICE-PRESIDENT AND GENERAL MANAGER'S REPORT. 13
made; 232,253 pounds were sent to the Georgia, Carolina
tfc Northern Railway, 102,341 pounds to the Carolina Central
Railroad, 3,964 to the Durham & Northern Railway, 2,662
pounds to the North Carolina Car Company, and 114 pounds
to the Egypt Railway. There were also made 22,687 pounds
of brass castings.
The Superintendent recommends the purchase of a sta-tionary
engine for the carpenter shop. The engine now in
use is old, and requires constant attention, and is liable to
give out at any time. The boiler is new, having been
purchased a year ago.
We have rebuilt one passenger car, one flat car and eight
box cars on account of this road, and three box cars for the
Durham & Northern Railway, and equipped them with
Janney couplers ; equipped fourteen Raleigh & Gaston pas-senger
cars with quick-acting air brakes. Have repaired
five coaches, one express car, two baggage cars, one hundred
and thirty box cars, one hundred and sixty-seven fiat cars,
three caboose cars, and one stock car for this road. For
the Raleigh & Augusta Railroad, one shanty car, sixteen
box cars and eleven flat cars ; one hundred and twenty-six
foreign box cars have been repaired in our shops, and have
raised to standard height draw-heads on thirteen Raleigh
& Gaston box cars and three flat cars. You will remember
that under existing laws we are required to have all of our
freight and passenger cars to the standard height, and by
July 1st, 1895, must have all freight cars equipped with
automatic car couplers and air brakes.
There were used during the year 1 ,583 cords of wood and
9,512 tons of coal. It is very important that coal chutes
be built as soon as possible, as I am sure it will be a great
saving in coal and labor.
The following casualties occurred during the year:
November 8, 1892, Abram Palmer had his thigh broken
while shifting cars in Raleigh yard.
14 VICE-PRESIDENT AND GENERAL MANAGER'S REPORT.
December 20, 1892, Wm. Oatney had leg broken fall-ing
into the turn-table pit at Raleigh.
March 1st, 1893, John Conway had his arm broken while
coupling cars.
I eannot close this report without referring to the extra-ordinary
depression in all business that affects transporta-tion
companies; and I regret to say that we will commence
a new year with a condition of affairs of the country such
as I have not seen in years, if ever before. While the out-look
for crops on the line of the road is good, yet it is a ques-tion
if the people will be able, for want of means, to gather
all they have made. Respectfully submitted,
JOHN C. WINDER,
Vice-President and General Manager.
