Operating Statistics and the European Practice
Operating Statistics and the European Practice.
It is interesting to note that in this period of depression in trade, the German railways continue to compile a vast mass of statistical data for the guidance of their officers. Operating statistics on the German railways follow much the same lines as those favoured in Britain, but as in other European countries a good many differences are found in the manner in which essential figures are segregated and in the method of their compilation.

It would be an excellent thing if operating statistics throughout the world could be placed upon a standard footing. This, however, can hardly be hoped for, in view of the different conditions existing in the various countries.
