Baltimore and Ohio
Hangs Up New Record

Heavier loading enabled the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad to save
the use of 6,23S cars in the handling
of less than carload freight in July,
compared with the same month last
year. At the same time the company
handled 10000 more tons of this
class of freight in 1000 less cars. ac-
cording to the report OF the trans
portation department, which has just
been compiled.
Last month the Baltimore and
Ohio handled 1,S93,660 cars in
freight trains. 92S.6S4 of which were
loaded. While the loaded car move
ment is Indicative of the general
business activity, hot weather inter
fered somewhat. 1t is expected that
the company will handle more than
100000 loaded cars monthly dur
ing the fall.
