Railroad executive William C. Brown thanks the gentlemen at Dow Jones & Co. for their editorial, “Railroads Need Encouragement,” in this morning’s edition of the Wall Street Journal expressing encouragement and commendation to the railroad companies, which Brown says have endured a great deal of “indiscriminate censure and criticism,” or even “abuse,” over the past two years. Brown states that the railroad companies are not without, in some cases, “very great fault,” but hopes that credit can be given to those companies that have been run well.
