Passengers and Freight-How long
do YOU think a steam railway would
do business if it gave the right of way
to freight trains and made passenger
trains trail along behind the freights
for miles until the freight engineer
felt like turning off on the sidetrack?
Yet that's just what the people of
Chicago are standing for.
The freight trains are the wagons,
trucks and autos that use the car
tracks and hold the street cars back
until the vehicles see fit to get off
the track
There may be 100 passengers on
the car, all anxious to get to work or
to get home for supper; and one man
on the vehicle. Yet the 100 are held
back because it is easier driving on
the car tracks for the vehicle.
The car tracks were not built for
wagons, trucks and autos. They
were built to provide rapid transit for
men, women and children.
The street railway service of Chi
cagO could be vastly improved; more
cars could be run, and the running
time materially reduced if motormen
didn't have to wait in nearly every
block for vehicles to get off the track
