RAILROAD WORLD.


A. ]. Lytle, chief clerk to w. C. Ri
nearson, general passenger agent of the
Queen and Crescent Route, has been ap-
pointed assistant general passenger agent
with headquarters in Cincinnati.
Circulars announcing the change were
received in Birmingham yesterday The
new assistant general passenger agent
has number of friends in Birmingham.
The appointment of e. Schryver as
general freight agent TO L. Sewer did
not come as a surprise to railroad men
in Birmingham. After his trip to Biz
mingham to obtain endorsements from the
shippers here, and his statement that he
came at the suggestion of the vice presi-
dent, it was generally believed that he
would be appointed.
1t was also expected that Mr.. Biles
would be made freight traffic manager.
The two appointments place the Cincin-
natl, New Orleans and Texas Pacific
practically in total charge of the traffic
situation, Mr. Schryverl being at present
assistant general freight agent of that
part of the Queen and Crescent Route.
The report of the Alabama Car Ser
vice association for November shows a
decrease of about 5000 cars in the num-
Der handled in November of last year.
This year 5000 cars were handled and
last year 7O,545 cars were handled.
Lack Of cars and equipment with which
to handle the cars on hand are the
causes of the decrease and the railroad
men state that with proper conditions
there was business for fully 30 per cent
more cars than last year. Following is
