I do not understand why people are complaining about this -- I simply click on Hol's link below and it opens a GIGANTIC image of a photocopy -- I mean 4765 x 5680, 4.7 Megabytes. Seriously?? For a black & white low resolution original?? I shrunk this to 25% size and then saved as 50% JPEG compression -- It is now 1189 x 1420 and uses 117 Kilobytes of disk space -- less than 5% as much space. Does anyone actually believe the original contains more information than the compressed version? I have included the shrunken copy so you can compare them yourself.

The rates had been adjusted downward somewhat in 1933 during the Depression but were still a considerable expense. It's no wonder the C&S was willing to turn over otherwise unneeded locomotives to the Q! At the rates shown, the C&S was receiving $153 per day from the Q while paying $245 per day in rental. Had the rental locomotives remained constant for a year on both roads, the total received by the C&S would have been $55,845, while the amount paid to the Q would have totaled $89,498, leaving the subsidiary owing the parent company $33,653. It cost the C&S $5,840 a year to rent one of the M-3s, so over the 26 years they were leased by the C&S, each one of the 10 6300s cost a total of$151,840 in rent. New in 1919 the M-3s had cost about $85,00 apiece. So was their long-term rental to the C&S a good deal for the Q or the C&S? On the surface it looks as though the parent company made out quite well by not selling the 10 M-3s to the C&S but instead renting them to the subsidiary for 26 years. Hol
