ROAD HASPLBNTY OF
CARS and ENGINES
SUCH A THING AS ABUNDANT
EQUIPMENT is so UNUSUAL
THAT STATEMENT WILL PROB
ABLY CAUSE REJOICING.

There was joy in the camps of the
Central of Georgia yesterday and Sam
GOWN commercial agent was wearing
one of those smiles that can't be erased.
He was In possession of all the motive
power that he wanted and a sufficient
number of cars to handle business, not
only all that was offered, but all that
could be obtained by solicitations
Such thing as an abundant supply
OF equipment has been an unknown guam
iity in the Birmingham district for so
long that 1t created a. ripple of excite
ment yesterday when the fact became
known.
To begin with yesterday morning the
Central of Georgia had enough locomo-
tives and to spare in the Birmingham
round house to handle all the freight
trains. There were six of the immense
new freight engines, and four of the
best of the old ones in the yards ready
t. haul trains, and besides that there
were fifteen other engines on the road be-
tween Birmingham and Columbus, to-
tai of twenty-five engines, fifteen of which
are brand new and of immense capacity,
and the other ten in frst-class running
order.
The Central recently received a con-
signment of thirty-flve new engines and
fifteen of these were given the Birmingham
division. Then ten of the best Of the old
engines were sent to the Birmingham
division, putting 1t in hrst-class shape
for handling it's business.
On top of this came the announcement
that the first of an order of 1000 coal
cars of 100000 pounds capacity each, had
arrived, and that others were on the way.
The Pittsburg Gazette-Times has the fol-
lowing short story of the cars en- route
to Birmingham for the Central and it
should prove interesting to coal opera
tors In the district:
while there is usually not much beauty
to be seen in freight car. except pos
slbility to the railroad officer who sees
possibilities of good revenue, special
train of brand new cars for the Central
of Georgia railway on the FIT. Wayne out
of Allegheny yesterday made a fine APP
pearance. There were AZ cars in the train,
all painted black, with the white lettering
glistening neatly The cars were arranged
along one could count the new equipment
by the numbers. The cars were built by
the Pressed Steel Car Company and are.
a portion of large order of steel hopper
cars for the Central of Georgia"
This entire order of coal cars will be
in Birmingham within the next three or
four weeks They are all steel hopper
