are known as freight transfer sta.
tons, and have been established to
facilitate the interchange of traffic be-
tween different lines.
In a sense, these freight transfer
stations resemble somewhat the great
clearing houses OF the associated
banks in big cities like New York
and Chicago, but instead Of bills and
coin, they handle daily thousands Of
loaded freight cars.
Instead of bank checks, such as.
the financial clearing houses sort out
every morning when they balance
their accounts, the freight transfer
stations have hundreds of thousands
OF bigger and more unwieldy pieces Of
paper which are called way bills,
which represent the tremendous vol
ume OF merchandise in the loaded
cars.
Also there are the bills of lading,
which answer tho same purpose, but
In different wey. II the value of
the costly freight passing through

far behind the days business of this

systems has many similar transfer
stations for the Interchange Of freight
traffic between tho various roads OF

like the New York Central lines, for
example, is made up Of twelve differ

Central lines, does not differ material.

meet at Chicago, East St. Louis East

Each system has from ten to fifty
