YEAR or DELAYED TRAINS
Railroad Man says IL is Due 20
Shortage of Cars ana
Engines.

II have been in this business for over
twenty years and never have known pas
serger trains to run on as poor time as
they have done this year" said one OF
Onnhha's veteran railroad men yesterday.
1T is q fact" he continued, that roads
generally have failed to observe schedules
this year. ! warrant II a comparison could
be made II would be found that more trains
were late more times in the last year than
In any other similar period Of omaha's his
tory.
Now, II will be interesting to look into
the causes Of this condition. Some will tell
you. glibly, that It is due to the unprece-
dented volume OF trafic and Indirectly that
is correct, But that does not fully explain
matters. II Ia true that, taken as a whole,
this has been the greatest year for pas
senger and freight business in the coun-
try's history and Omaha, the gateway to the
great west, has opened her portals to un-
usually large hordes Of travellers this year,
but I have observed that at times when the
passenger ttAfic was the heaviest the trains
might be making the best time they had
made during the year. So that does not
explain II. / was here in one Of The old
depots years ago when round-trlp excursion
tickets we're sold to California for IS and
the rush of travel was something tremen-
dous, but the trains all made good time.
The simple cause is the general short
age Of rolling stock. All these roads, or
at least nearly. all OF them, are short on
engines and many on cars, and they simply
have been Unable to meet the conditions
which. this unheard Of era of prosperity has
thrust upon them. The railroad magnates
who are given credit for being the most
w~ide-awaRe and progressive fellows In the
country, were caught mapping that time.
They did not foresee this enormous increase
in business coming in time to prepare ade-
quate means Of handling It as It should
have been handled. Now, you will nnd that
scarcely a road in this part Of the country
has failed to order new cars and new en-
gines, especially the latter. But this does
not necessarily promise immediate relief
from the congestion that has set in. The
~enginemakers Throughout the country are
already covered up with orders that cannot
possibly be flled by the last Of 1903, so
that II this enormous increase In volume Of
business has come to stay, and there is lit
tie doubt that It has, Il will require more
than a year for the railroads to catch up
with the situation"
