trains and freight cars has been felt here.
The spur track Is a short one and Is mad
eduate for the freight business transacted
here for at least eight months out OF ev-
cry twelve. Last summer Il was often
necessary TO hold cars for this place at
India Point until room could be made for
them here.
The same trouble has been experienced
In procuring empty cars for the shipment
OF freight. The local force Is an efficient
/ one and business is facilitated 10 great
extent by the local agent, who does much
for the convenience OF the public, but
cannot always provide freight cars at
short notice because he has no where 10
put them when they came.
There are several stations on the line
which do but fraction Of the freight
! business Riverside does and yet have two
or three times the track facilities Tor
handling freight.
