SCIENTIFIC LOCATION OP CARHOUSES IN THE CALUMET LI STRICT CHICAGO

I. INTRODUCTION

The object of this investigation is the de- termination Of the most advantageous locations for carehouses in the- Calumet District.

The recent growth of this District, "both in population and in commercial activities, and its exten- sion over a large area, have rendered the present Burnside Carhouse inadequate to care for the existing traffic in an economical and efficient manner. The proposed harbor improvements at South Chicago and the completion of the Sag Drainage Canal, assuring a sani- tary water supply, will give added impetus to the de- velopment of this District, thus further aggravating the present unsatisfactory conditions.

-1-

The investigation hereinafter set forth is cased on the operation of all car lines in the Calumet District as one independent system. This is essential- ly true at the present time, although certain modifica- tions have "been introduced since the recent unification of all street car companies operating within the cor- porate limits of the City of Chicago.

(See Ordinance of November 13th, 1913.)

II. GENERAL PREMISES

In selecting the location for a carhouse, there are five important factors which should be given care- ful consideration, namely:

1. Size and Fitness of Lot. A lot. should be

of sufficient size to permit double- ended operation of the carhouse, it should afford ample provision for future requirements, its shape should be suit- able for a proper and economical layout of tracks, and its fitness should not be impaired by restrictions that might hur't its use for railway purposes.

2. Fire Risk and Water Supply. Proximity to

buildings of inflammable material, or having contents that burn easily, should be avoided. A location should be chosen where a good hydrant service is obtain- able and as near to a fire station as possible.

-5-

3. Economy of Construction. A firm bearing

material together with a minimum amount of excavation or fill will assist con- siderably in reducing the cost of con- struction.

4. Facilities for Drainage and Sewerage. The

use of car repair pits makes this of es- pecial importance. Good natural drain- age of surface and sub-soil is desirable in order to keep the carhouse free from moisture. The presence of dampness is injurious to the health of the men and accelerates the deterioration of cars and building.

5. Convenience and Economy of Operation, that

is, minimizing of maintenance and non- revenue mileage. The selection of a location is largely a matter, in its last analysis, of reducing the dead mileage of revenue cars to the lowest possible point consistent with econom-

-4-

ical operation of the system as a whole, -

"by dead mileage "being meant that portion of the total operated mileage used to enable cars to reach the origin of their first trip and to return them to .the carhouse after completing their last trip. This dead or non-revenue mileage is influenced "by three distinct consider- ations:

a. In order to serve best the all- day cars, carhouses should be located practically at the outer extremity of the route.

b. In order to serve best the rush- hour cars, storage should be provided reasonably near the center of traffic.

c. As the length of the route in- creases, these opposing conditions evi- dently become greater.

III. BURETSISE CARH0U5E

An inspection of Map No. 2, showing the loca- tion of all car lines operated in the Calumet District, illustrates in a striking manner the disadvantageous situation of the present Burnside Carhouse with respect to the system as a whole. This is due to the fact that in recent ysars the trend of development of the territory served has been almost entirely far to the southwest and southeast.

It is evident, therefore, that to attempt to care for the entire District by increasing the capaci- ty of the Burnside plant would not "be advisable. This view was advocated by A. L. Drum & Co . , Consulting Engineers, as far back as January 7th, 1909, in a re- port on "Calumet & South Chicago Railway Company Car Barn Development", wherein they stated "It is our judgment that you will eventually reo^uire on operating barn near 92nd Street and South Chicago Avenue" and advised the rehabilitation only of the Burnside Car- house .

-6-

In order, however, to obtain a basis of com- parison "between each of the plans hereinafter outlined, the present Burnside Carhouse will "be investigated to determine the existing investment, annual charges, and non-revenue mileage.

INVESTMENT AND ANNUAL CHAEGES .

PRESENT INVESTMENT. The present value of "buildings and other property was obtained as follows: Where cost records were not available, quantities of material were computed, and prices for labor and mater- ial then applied. To the cost thus obtained, was added 15^1 for organization, engineering, and incident- als, and the total taken as cost new. The property was then depreciated at a rate depending on the mater- ial used in its construction, the use to which it was put, and exposure to deteriorating surroundings, due allowance being made in each case for cost of additions and rehabilitation.

INSURANCE. In determining the proper amount of insurance to be carried on any building, it is con- sidered good business practice to reduce the insurable value by deducting such portions of the structure as cannot be damaged by fire. In the present case, the full insurable value was computed in accordance with the list of deductions compiled by the Board of super-

-8-

vising Engineers, Chicago Traction, * of which the following is an extract:

a. Wrecking old "buildings and preparation

of site.

b. Excavation.

c. Sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and paving

outside of buildings.

d. Outside electric line work.

e. Track work, including excavation. Ex-

ceptions - car storage tracks with ties laid above ground.

f . Foundations and footings below brick work

or cut-stone water tables.

g. Concrete floors on ground.

h. Smoke-stacks and their foundations.

i. Water supply and sewer systems buried.

j . Pi t retaining walls, open or closed. Ex- ceptions - concrete floors over pits, cast-iron columns, track rails, pipes, conduits, etc., when exposed.

x- See Third Annual Report, p. 237.

k. Concrete and other fireproof heating ducts.

Note Building fixtures such as boilers,

heating apparatus, trolley sectional- izing switches, etc., and inside electric line material not a part of the "building, to "be insured as "Contents."

INTEREST AND TAXES. These two items, which are practically standard, will be considered at the following rates:

Interest ----- 5/3

Taxes - - - - - - l-i

DEPRECIATION. Various rules and methods have been evolved for the determination of depreciation, nearly all of which begin with an assumption as to the probable life of the property to be depreciated. The two most widely used methods are:

1. The Straight Line Method. This assumes a definite life and a uniform rate of depreciation during that time.

-10-

2. The Sinking Fund Method. This assumes a definite life and toy means of a sink- ing fund formula, with any percentage of accrual, provides for a fixed annual sum, with interest, which will offset the value of the property in the assumed period. The fund that will accumulate at the end of any number of years, through the laying aside of a uniform annual amount drawing compound interest, is deter- mined "by the following formula:

F = (1 + K)n- 1

R

The sum to be laid aside annually at com- pound interest to accumulate a given amount at the end of a given period is found "by the formula:

D m FK (l-rR)n- 1

Where F - accumulated fund at the end

of n years .

-11-

I) ■ annual sum set aside.

B z annual rate of interest expressed as hundredths of a dollar.

n = number of years the amount is annually set aside. The Board of Supervising Engineers* has re- covmended that, in general, buildings should "be de- preciated for a life of 66 years. This corresponds to an actual depreciation of about 1-1/5$ per year con- sidered at a uniform rate, but if depreciated vtilues were written off in this manner no consideration would be given to the fact that depreciation funds draw interest. The Board has, therefore, adopted the sink- ing fund method with an interest rate of ?>%. The net result is that at any future time the present value of the structure plus the accumulated depreciation fund thereon equals cost new. The accompanying diagram illustrates how this sinking fund method applies.

NOK-REVENUE MILEAGE

As stated under "General Premises", page 5, non-revenue mileage is that portion of the total op- erated mileage which is used to enable cars to reach the origin of their first trip and to return them to the carhouse after the completion of their last trip. While it is true that the old custom of running cars in a closed condition between the carhouses and their individual routes has "been abandoned, and that pass- engers are now accepted at any point, yet it must not be overlooked that such fares as are collected by a car, in running along a certain street to and from its own route, are merely withdrawn from the regular cars delegated to serve that street.

In computing the non-revenue mileage, as hereinafter tabulated, the following factors were con- sidered:

1. The present schedule of cars on each line.

2. Changes in schedule or routing which

might be made in the near future.

-18-

3. Probable business expansion in different localities and the effect of increas- ing various schedules to accomodate the same . Factors "2" and "3" were developed primarily by assuming the construction of four extensions which will soon be warranted by the increased density of traffic. These are:

87th St., from Cottage Grove Ave. to Commercial Ave.

95th St., from Michigan Ave. to Vincennes Rd.

103rd St., from Cottage Grove Ave. to Torrence Ave. and 104th St.

Torrence Ave., from 112th St. to Ontario Ave. and 138th St. (Hegewisch)

With the 95th Street extension in use, the number of

cars operating on 93rd street .all be increased from

eleven to thirteen, nine of these being routed south

on Cottage Grove Avenue and four west on 95th street.

The 103rd Street extension will make advisable the

consolidation of the 106th Street and 103rd Street

lines, operating a total of eight cars instead of

four as at present. The 87th street extension and

-19-

the Torrence Avenue extension will "be operated as individual lines.

In addition to these changes, it might be observed here, that further benefits may be obtained by through-routing cars on certain trunk lines, the ones most susceptible to economical treatment of this character being south Chicago Avenue, Stony Island Avenue, Cottage Grove Avenue, and State Street, assum- ing the proposed extension from 79th Street to 95th Street is built. This, however, introduces numerous complications and problems which are without the scope of the present investigation.

COST OF NON-REVENUE MILEAGE.

The cost per car-mile of non-revenue mileage is made up of three items as follows:

1. Platform Expenses.

2. Maintenance and Inspection

3. Power.

1. PLATFORM EXPENSES

Platfo'rm expenses cover the wages paid motor- men and conductors. These wages are not constant out form a sliding scale varying from twenty- three cents per hour to thirty-two cents per hour depending upon length of service. The scale of wages, in accordance with the contract "between the Calumet and South Chicago Railway Company and the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employees, is given here-

wi th :

First three months - - - - 23 cents per hour

Second three months- - - - 25 "

Next six months ----- 26 "

Next six months ----- 27 "

Next six months ----- 28 cents per hour

Third year -------29 "

Fourth year ------- 3o "

rates totaled as follows:

-29-

It is to "be noted here that car service em- ployes, such as the division superintendent , assist- ant superintendent, supervisors, clerks, janitors, and watchmen, are not taken into consideration inas- much as their wages form no part of the cost of non- revenue mileage.

3 . POWER .

The energy consumed, and consequently the cost of same, varies directly as the tonnage moved. In order, therefore, to obtain an accurate unit figure to apply on the cost of non-revenue mileage, it will he necessary to compute the total tonnage of passengers, cars, and materials handled during a period covering the consumption of a definite amount of energy. The past fiscal year will be considered.

IV. PROPOSED LOCATIONS

The Calumet District, with its various street car lines, is divided into two natural sections by Lake Calumet, namely: the South Chicago territory to the northeast of the Lake, and the Pullman terri- tory to the west of the Lake. It is evident from an inspection of Map No. 2, that the most economical op- eration of cars can "be obtained only by the use of two carhouses, one in each of these territories.

Plan No. 1, therefore, contemplates the op- eration of two carhouses, one of which shall be lo- cated in the immediate vicinity of 93rd Street and Anthony Avenue and shall serve the South Chicago ter- ritory. The present 5urnside Carhouse shall be re- tained for the purpose of serving the Pullman terri- tory.

Plan No. 2 includes the present ^urnside Carhouse and a new carhouse to be located in the im- mediate vicinity of 103rd Street and Torrence Avenue.

-36-

However, inasmuch as the discussion nowhere advocates the retention of the Burnside Carhouse, the two plans outlined above constitute only a temporary mode of operation. The street car traffic within the City of Chicago is increasing at the rate of bp per annum; this means that traffic will be practically doubled within seventeen years. Figured upon such a basis, the Burnside Carhouse will reach the limit of its economic usefulness in approximately eight years from date, after which time it will become necessary to construct an additional new carhouse.

Plan No. 3, therefore, contemplates the abandonment of the present Burnside Carhouse and the construction of two new carhouses, one at 93rd street and Anthony Avenue as noted in Plan No. 1, and the other in the immediate vicinity of 119th Street and Michigan Avenue.

Plan No. 4 provides for new carhouses at 103rd Street and Torrence Avenue and at 119th Street and Michigan Avenue. The similarity between the two plans first outlined is therefore retained in the latter two.

-37-

It might be observed that either 115th Street and Michigan Avenue or 111th Street and Michigan Avenue would provide at present a more central loca- tion for the Pullman territory. These locations are open to the following serious objections:

1. Future growth of this territory will be

toward the west and south.

2. Both locations mentioned fall within

business districts and would entail a disproportionate expenditure of cap- ital for real estate and preparation of site.

-'68-

PLAN NO, 1.

As previously outlined, this plan provides for

1. A new carhouse at 93rd Street and Anthony Avenue of sufficient capacity tD care for the following lines:

South Deering 87th Street

Windsor Park 93rd & Pullman

»

Hammond 95th street

Whiting 106th Street

Hegewisch Stony Island

2. The present Eurnside Carhouse at 93rd Street and Drexel Avenue to care for the following lines:

103rd Street 119th Street 103rd-106th Sts. Riverdale 111th Street West Pullman 115th Street This division of service is illustrated by Map No. 3. It is evident from the same that some

-39-

saving in mileage could "be effected by the operation of certain lines, notably the 93rd & Pullman Line, from two carhouses jointly. Such a mode of operation has "been objected to, however, on the ground of con- fusion of authority between division superintendents and carhouse foremen, and because of difficulties in disciplining trainmen.

DESIGN 0? NEW CARHOUSE.

In considering the design of the proposed carhouse to "be located at 93rd Street and Anthony Avenue, the standards as developed by the Chicago City Eailway company will be followed in their essential features. These may be outlined as follows:

General.- The carhouse should be of the double-end type and should be divided into bays or sections of fireproof construction. Each bay should be limited in storage capacity to about $200,000.00 worth of rolling stock; this provides for three tracks per bay, giving a space of 37*-7" for roof girders.

Ploors.- Concrete floors should be used throughout, and should be so graded that water will flow readily to the drains.

Pits.- About half of the trackage should be

built with inspection pits with a reinforced concrete

floor between rails of the adjoining tracks and with

well-drained concrete sub-floors in all pits.

Poofs.- A flat type of roof is greatly to be desired on account of the large area to be covered.

-45-

P.einforced concrete slab construction has been found to "be the most desirable. The Board of supervising Engineers insists upon a uniform height of 18 feet to the underside of the girders., as this gives a straight line entrance into the building for trolley overhead construction. A height of 16 feet is here advocated. This allows a substantial reduction in the cost of walls, piers, columns, and doors, and does not mater- ially increase the possibility of the trolley wheel leaving the wire. In this connection, note that the standard height of subways and viaducts in the City of Chicago is 13»-6".

Skylights.- The skylight area should include about one-fifth of the total roof area. In the latest designed carhouses, skylights have been placed in the center of the bay and have been extended to within 16 feet from each end. Single-deck monitors are used. The skylights should be glazed with wire glass and the monitor windows with ribbed glass.

Fire-Doors.- All openings in walls between bays and at ends of bays should be provided with roll-

-46-

ing steel fire-doors.

Heating System.- During the winter heat should be supplied by either an indirect hot blast system, or by a direct radiation system. The latter has a great advantage in that the pipes can be laid in the pits where they are out of the way and provide a more even heating with less inconvenience to the men working in the pits. Steam coils should also be placed around the walls and directly over the doors to temper the incoming air.

Car Repairing.- One bay in the carhouse should be equipped for the general repairing of cars. Two overhead traveling cranes spanning the entire bay should be provided; also general repair tools such as motor-driven lathes, drill presses, emery wheels, etc. However, if a car is in need of extensive repairs, it should be taken to the main shops.

Offices.- separate offices should be appor- tioned to the Division superintendent and carhouse foreman, in addition to ample accommodations for clerks, receivers, and dispatchers. It is preferable to have

-47-

these rooms face on a large well lighted hall, provid- ed with suitable counters where trainmen can make out their reports.

Clu"b Rooms.- Club rooms consisting of a large hall with a stage at one end and one or two ante-rooms are highly appreciated by the trainmen.

Toilet Facilities.- Ample toilet facilities should be provided for carhouse employes and trainmen. Barber chairs and shoe shining stands are conveniences which tend to improve the appearance of trainmen when on duty.

The following tentative design embraces the features outlined above.

VI. CONCLUSION.

ANALYSIS OF SULT.. 'ARIES

NON-REVENUE MILEAGE

As stated under General Premises, pg . 5, the selection of the location for a Carhouse is largely a matter, in its final analysis, of reducing the non- revenue mileage of revenue cars to the lowest possible amount consistent with the economical operation of the system as a whole. From an inspection of the preceding summaries of non-revenue mileage, it is apparent that each of the plans considered will re- sult in substantial savings in comparison with the present Burnside Carhouse.

Under existing methods of car operation, these savings vary in amount as follows:

Plan No. 1 Plan No. 2 Plan No. 3 Plan No. 4

$6,412.03 $6,579.18 $16,455.34 $15,185.44

It is seen that Plan No. 3 represents the largest sav- ing in cost of non-revenue mileage, "being $1,270.40

-76-

greater than Plan No. 4.

Considering all proposed changes in routes and methods of operation under conditions that will soon be realized, the following reductions result: Plan No. 1 Plan No. 2 Plan No. 3 Plan No . 4 $6,872.45 $8,912.16 $14,536.57 $16,830.14

In this case, Plan No. 4 gives a reduction in cost of $2,293.57 in excess of the reduction obtained by Plan No. 3. This annual saving of $16,830.14, capitalized at 5^, is equivalent to an investment of $336,500.00, a sum sufficiently large to build complete two modern Carhouses as contemplated under Plan No. 4 (real es- tate excluded) .

ANNUAL CHAEGBS

Owing to the large increases in the total in- vestment which is necessary under the various plans considered, the annual charges are much larger than at present. These increases, however, are in propor- tion to the increased housing capacity which each plan contemplates.

-77-

Interest, Depreciation, and Taxes on Build- ings are accordingly increased in all cases. Interest and Taxes on Real Estate are increased in Plans No. 1 and Ho. 2, lout show a decrease in Plans No. 3 and No. 4, this "being due to more efficient and intensive de- velopment of smaller plats of ground. In this con- nection, compare the layout of the Surnside Plant with the proposed design.

Insurance rates on the new buildings are smaller on account of better design and compliance with the Underwriters' Specifications regarding fire walls, steel doors, size of "bays, fire prevention apparatus, and various items of construction. The increases in the total investment, however, are suf- ficiently large to raise the total Insurance on Build- ings considerably above the present premiums. Plans No. 3 and No. 4 represent a slightly greater saving than Plans No. land No. 2.

Regarding insurance on Rolling Stock, a sub- stantial saving is shown by all plans, the greatest reduction amounting to $929.69 for Plans No. 3 and No .4

-78-

This is due to "better housing facilities and greater protection against fire.

CAR SERVICE AND CARHOUSE EXPENSES

These items which are the same for all plans, show an increase of $2,915.04 in car Service Expenses and $1,499.76 in Carhouse Expenses, both on account of the use of two operating houses instead of one as at present.

TOTAL COST 0? OPERATION

Referring to the Summary of Annual Cost of Operation based on present operation of cars, it is seen that Plan No. 3 requires the smallest annual out- lay, the total amount being $102,129.08. The total for Plan No. 2, $106,565.85, is slightly smaller than for Plan No. 1, and the total for Plan No. 4 is $1,270.40 greater than for Plan No. 3.

Based on the proposed operation of c-j.rs, the total annual cost of operation is smallest for Plan No. 4, amounting to $106,445.92. This is $2,293.57 smaller than Plan No. 3, and only $5,099.32 greater

-79-

than the present ^urnside Carhouse, notwithstanding • the fact that it represents a total investment more than two and one-half times greater.

It should also be noted here, that the two new carhouses proposed under Plan No. 4, provide a total storage capacity of 120 double truck 48 ft. passenger cars in comparison with the present storage capacity of 65 double truck cars at the Burnside Car- house. When this additional capacity has been utiliz- ed by the natural increase of traffic, the total an- nual cost of non-revenue mileage under Plan No. 4 will then amount to |45,934.02, and for the present Burnside location the non-revenue mileage would be $77,949.60, thus giving an annual saving in non- revenue mileage of £32,015.55.

-SO-

RECOMMENDATIONS

Eased on the preceding analysis, the adopt- ion of Plan No. 4 is here recommended, with the following provisions as to its installation:

1. First construct the proposed extension of tracks on 103rd Street from Cottage Grove Avenue to 104th Street and Torrence Avenue. The Illinois Central Eailroad is at present elevating its tracks across 103rd Street West of Cottage Grove Avenue, and will "begin the construction of a subway early in 1915, thus permitting a safe and inexpensive crossing at this point. The City of Chicago is proceeding with the adjustment of the riparian rights in Lake Calumet and it is expected that in the near future 103rd Street will he opened up across the northern end of the Lake.

2. Construct the proposed new Carhouse to "be located at 103rd street and Torrence Avenue, at the same time retaining the present Burnside carhouse temporarily in service. This represents Plan No. 2

-81-

and will result in the greatest immediate reduction in non-revenue mileage. It is to be noted here that a further substantial reduction will be obtained by the construction of a new car-line on Yates Avenue from 67th Street to 103rd Street, a portion of which will probably be built within the next two years.

3. After the Burnside Carhouse has reached the limit of its economic usefulness due to depreciation and inability to properly handle increase of traffic, as outlined under Proposed Locations, page 37, aban- don it and construct a new carhouse at 119th street and Michigan Avenue. This will complete the instal- lation of Plan So. 4, thus providing two modern car- houses at strategic points best fitted to minimize operating costs, handle present traffic, and care for future growth.

Dated as of Lfay 1st, 1914.
