The decrease in "miles owned" by Class I companies in the States of Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia, and, conversely, the increase by nonoperating companies, is largely attributable to the fact that eight companies which were reported as Class I Operating companies in 1921 became lessor companies in 1922. Of these eight companies the Cincinnati, Lebanon & Northern Ry. Co., Cumberland Valley & Martinsburg R. R. Co., Grand Rapids & Indiana Ry. Co., New York, Philadelphia & Norfolk R. R. Co., and Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis R. R. Co. became lessors to the Pennsylvania R. R. Co.; the Kanawha & Michigan Ry. Co. and Toledo & Ohio Central Ry. Co. to the New York Central R. R. Co.; and the Lake Erie & Western R. R. Co. to the New York, Chicago & St. Louis R. R. Co.

Some examples given below are typical of the circumstances leading to the reclassification of companies as proprietaries:
 * 1937

With the permission of the Commission, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Ry. Co. Co. secured control of the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient Ry. Co. on October 19, 1928, by purchase of capital stock. Subsequently the Panhandle & Santa Fe Ry. Co. (an operating subsidiary of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Ry. Co.) obtained control, by lease, of the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient Ry. Co. of Texas and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Ry. Co. secured control, by lease, of the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient Ry. Co. Both leases were effective August 1, 1929. On October 8, 1929, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Ry. Co. obtained direct control of the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient Ry. Co. of Texas by purchase of capital stock. These companies were classified as proprietaries on the date on which the leases became effective, but returns for them for the first 8 months of 1929 were included in separate operating reports. Information as of December 31, 1929 was included in the proprietary schedules of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Ry. Co. and the Panhandle & Santa Fe Ry. Co.

On November 8, 1924, the Arizona Eastern R. R. Co. was leased by the Southern Pacific Co. The Southern Pacific Co. was permitted to discontinue the filing of lessor reports in behalf of the Arizona Eastern R. R. Co. in view of the fact that the Southern Pacific Co. owned all of the outstanding capitalization of the Arizona Eastern. Beginning with the 1929 report, the returns for the Arizona Eastern were included in the proprietary schedule of the annual report of the Southern Pacific Co.

As the Illinois Central R. R. Co. owned or controlled the entire capital stock and funded debt outstanding of the Dubuque & Sioux City R. R. Co., a lessor company, it was permitted to include data for the Dubuque & Sioux City in the proprietary schedule of the Illinois Central effective with the 1926 annual report.

The Chicago Great Western R. R. Co., having acquired all of the capitalization of the Mason City & Fort Dodge R. R. Co., was permitted to cease filing lessor reports in behalf of this company, and, beginning with the 1926 annual report, data for the Mason City & Fort Dodge R. R. Co. were included in the schedule for proprietaries in the report of the Chicago Great Western.

Of a total of 240 proprietary companies reported for 1937, 184 or 77 percent were proprietaries of class I railways and their lessors.

Within the period 1926-37, 176 companies were added as proprietaries and 110 companies were discontinued as such.

The reclassification of lessors as proprietaries was responsible for the greatest increase in the number of proprietaries within the period 1926-37 as indicated in the table below, which shows the status of companies which were added, in the year preceding their classification as proprietaries. In the number shown as "not reported" are included companies which had not been officially classified previously, as well as others for which returns had been included in those of an operating company. In the latter class, for example, was the Missouri Pacific Railroad Corporation in Nebraska, the returns for which were included in those of the Missouri Pacific Railroad Co. until 1927, but thereafter shown separately as a proprietary.
