A Better SYSTEM
IN FREIGHT YARDS

A new order, that is in reality an
old one was issued by President Van
Etten and all officials of the Boston &
Albany division of the New York Cen
trail road to conductors of the freight
trains to the effect that they shall no
tify the yardmaster ahead of time of
the number of cars that they are to
leave in the yards when they arrive
with their trains. This is done so that
room can be found for the cars and
they can be sidetracked without the
delay that is now experienced. Con-
ductors have not been in the habit of
notifying the yardmasters and in con-
sequence when a train with a number
of cars for the yard arrives there is
no place ready to receive them and
the train is delayed until a place is
got ready The order for conductors
to notify the yardmasters ahead of
time is an old one which has not re-
ceived much attention but now the
officials are going to see that the rule
is lived up to and all delay to cease.
Trains have arrived within the yard
limits and have been held there for
long time blocking tracks and some
times the grade crossings and in cases
where the crossings have been block
Ell the train has to be cut in two to
allow the traffic over the crossings to
go on. Through the delay many of the
conductors have a chance to put in
extra time.
