Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This appeal arises out of an application by the St. Louis-San
Francisco Railway Company to discontinue the operation of two of
its passenger trains. The state corporation commission denied the
application, and on appeal the district court held the order of
the commission to be unlawful and unreasonable, and set it aside.
Certain protestants have appealed from that judgment. The
commission has not appealed. The company's application to discontinue the two passenger
trains in question need not be detailed, and it is sufficient to
say that it alleged the over-all facts of the matter from the
standpoint of the company and set forth figures showing the great
financial loss sustained by the company from the operation of the
trains. At the hearing numerous witnesses testified and many
exhibits were introduced. At the conclusion thereof the
commission denied the application and, among other things, found
that the company's financial deficit was attributable, to a large
extent, to the six-man crew employed in the operation of the
trains; that such deficit could be decreased or eliminated by the
substitution of a one-unit motor car; that the lack of patronage
on the trains was partly the result of the company's failure to
solicit passenger business, and that public convenience and
necessity required the continued operation of the trains.
