The next table, C, will show the useful effect produced — being the amount of available or paying work done for each mile run by trains 41 in the five years, (1846 to 1850 inclusive) expressed in passengers, or in tons, carried one mile. The general result is this : — 13, 755, 550 miles were run by trains, and 759, 390, 026 passengers or tons of freight were moved one mile, and the average number of passengers or tons of freight carried for each mile run by trains was 54. 12. The maximum number... was 68. 4; the minimum, 40. 0 ; mean, 54. 12. In the case of the Western, 3, 696, 713 miles were run by trains; aggregate of passengers and tons carried, 213, 925, 952 ; average num- ber carried for each mile run, 57. 9. It will be observed that no allowance has been made to compensate for the 2, 000 feet and upwards of elevation which the Western Road has to overcome between Albany and Worcester, nor for the heavy grades by which the principal summit is passed. It is plain to be seen, however, that with grades not exceedino; those of the roads with which the comparisons are made, a large increase in the number of tons transported for each mile run would be exhibited in the table.
