The Lake road is doing the best freight
business this winter that it ever has and
is handling on an average $50 freight
cars day. Some of this is western freight
for the export trade, but by far the largest
amount is western grain for various points
in Maine. Besides the regular trains the
management is now running Eseven extras
daily on the west end and one on the east
end. In one day recently the men handled
IS trains of which 35 were extras. The
heavy grades make it impossible to haul
more than eight or ten cars at time so
the motive power of the road is very heav-
lily taxed to handle the increased traffic.
