Freight Cars in Large Numbers.

Orders for between 100, 900 and $780,
600 freight cars are soon to be placed
by the United States government to
cover the shortage of equipment on the
country's railroads. The prospective
contract will be the largest even placed
in the history of the equipment bust
ness. Even at an estimated cost of
only $1,000 per car, something like
$35O,O00,000 would be involved in an
order for only 100000.
The government railroad officials
have been making a thorough investi-
CATION of the equipment needs Of all
the carriers and as a result it is ex-
pected that the a orders will be mere
ly the forerunners of large contracts
for all kinds of rolling stock. 1t is I'M
derstood that there is also under con-
sideration at the present time an or
der for something like 1000 locomo-
tives.
