Heavy Freight Trains
On the Lake Road

Since midnight two long trains of
empty coal cars have travcrsed the
s5t. Johlsbufy and Lake Champlain
railroad and another train will be
started IS soon as the train of emp
ties com IS in from the. north. Each
OF these trains wore drawn by three
engines and they will be ioined at
Walden and run through to UG%ens-
burg via Swanton to the coal ili1cs
as one train. The Grsg TAIN left ST,
Johnsbury at 100 "Wednesday morn
ing and the second train leg asl715.
One train had as cars and the other
As and the second train attracted
much attention as it slowly wendell
its way over the road.
This i; one of the many attempts
Of the traffic department of the Bos-
ton & Maine railroad to relieve the
freight congestion which is growing
worse rather than better every day.
The increased business, the lifting
of emba goes, the shortage of cars
and engines, and last but not least
the shortage of train crews, all COM
bine to rake the most desperate sit
uation the traffic men Of the country
have ever faced.
Extra freight trains are running
through St. Johnsbury in every direc-
ton to relieve the congestion and it
will be ut least month before con-
ditions get back to normal. AS an
indication Of the increased business
throughout the country it is interest
iHg to note that in the second week
in May the number of cars delivered
to the private sidings to st. Johns
bury industries and concerns in
creased 400 per cent over the same
period in 1919.
