The increase thus shown amounts
to an average OF 1857 cars per
month. or 1874 cars per day, equivalent
to gain of G.3 per cent. over 1905.
In five months in 1906 is shown II
greater movement of cars than in any
month in 1905, and 1t is significant
fact that October, 1906, the record
month, shows an increase OF 6,974 cars
over any month in 1905. This increase
amounts TO 232 cars daily, equivalent.
possibly, to eight heavy trains. The
figures of this month of October, 1906.
are not only greater than those Of
any one month of 1905. bat are greater
By $40 cars than those of any previous
month in history.
Eight hundred and ten cars per
month, of about 81 cars per day, may
not seem much as a record breaker,
and yet to a railroad man these figures
will have greater Significance. for he
will realize that each one OF the 81
cars may be bound for different des.
tination, and that each car may require
separate classification to place 1t in
its proper train before leaving.
February OF 1905 and 1906 marked
the low tide of traffic in both years,
yet in February. 19OG,2S.7S4 more cars
were interchanged than in February
1905, an average gain of959 cars daily.
Leading the interchange by sections
of the Pennsylvania system was the
Eastern. Division, with 2S.t per cent
of the total. The Pittsburg Division
of the Pennsylvania Railroad was
next with 21.s per cent. then came
