Do you receive or ship freight?
If you do, this question of an eight
hour day to railway freight train
service employees is an important one
to you.
What has an eight hour day for
train crews got to do with me-" you
say.
Did it ever occur to you that the
practice of railroads In loading down
locomotive with all the tonnage it
would drag over the road was one
cause of your freight shipments being
SO slow In delivery.
This is just how it works out and
how 1t affects you.
Load Down Trains.
Railroads, in order to increase their
earnings per train mile, are loading
their locomotives with ever car that
they can possibly pull over any given
division.
A few years ago. you will remember,
freight trains ran on regular sched-
ule just the same as passenger trains.
They each had number and the train
would run regularly. and you could tell
abont when a certain numbered freight
train would arrive at your town. How
is 1t now? The railroads do not start
out train from a division point at
all, until sufficient number of loaded
cars are accumulated In the terminal
to make up the full tonnage of the
locomotive. This means that the car
that contains your merchandise Is held
at the terminal
Wait at Terminal.
Now, then, when these trains are
finally made up to their full tonnage
limit, necessarily they drag along the
road at snails pace, and in the
meantime your customers are clamor-
ing for goods.
