custom. Railroads permit all loaded
cars to go through to their destination
without transfer and allow one another
n certain sum for the use Of the ears.
This results in scattering the cars OF
the different roads over every section
Of track in the country. 1t produces
the extraordinary professions Of many
colorcd travellers from distant lands
that delights the eye of youngsters at
railroad crossing.
In theory, the cars are permitted 10
run through over foreign roads TO
their destination, on the condition mat
on their arrival they shall be unloadei
promptly and started on the journey
home. In practice. the freight agent
is apt to use the cars that are most
handy, regardless of their ownership.
An agent in Minneapolis would hardly
think twice before filling up a Maine
Central freight car with II consign-
ment for Manitoba. The agent at
Manitoba would not suffer pang OF
conscience If he found himself stufing
the same Maine car with a cargo OF
supplies. for Waco, Texas. Thus are
begun the wanderings of a car u
which, If 1t were not for the car ac-
countant and his memoranda, there
would sometimes be no end.
1t is by no means easy TO bring the
wanderers home. When the Maine
Centrals car accountant learns from
his reports that mis- car Is being unduly
knocked about on foreign roads his
first news Is that it has spent weeks
in the yards at Minneapolis. ~ tracer
is at once forwarded to the transportn-
ton uCrartment of the railroad Whicn
is believed to be holding the ear. liy
this time the car is on It's way to
Manitoba. A tracer follows 1t there,
but with the similar result that the
car has been dispatched for the South
west. A letter to the company operat-
ing the line out OF Waco brings an
answer to the effect that the car IS
there, but is being held to await the
disposition of the consignee. or that it
is crippled and has been run into the
shops for repairs, or that 1t has been
loaded again, in which case the conf
pany promises politely to unload it
and send 1t homo Immediately. Then
the car is promptly switched off on to
Il branch line for some local consignee
and is not heard of again except by the
needy agent who captured it until it
turns up in Il tail-end collision In the
state of West Virginia. Luckily 1t is
not a bit injured, and is able to con-
tinue its wanderings, pursued by more
and more vigorously worded cores
pondence, until somebody sends it
home.
