HEAVY GRAPE SHIP .
MENTS BEING MADE

Perhaps the following bulletin Just
issued by the S. p. K. r. Co. will in a
measure explain the inability of apple
shippers to secure as many refrigera-
tor cars as they would like:
The heavy shipments of grapes from
California to eastern points now being
made are we'll exemplifed by the
heavy tonnage moved from the Lodi
district.
During September 1928 cars of
grapes moved in solid trains ftoa, Lodi
to Roseville where the cars were
placed in the fruit block and sent out
quickly to the east. The schedule for
grape and green fruit trains from
Roseville to Chicago has been reduced
to l54 hours and these trains have been
held to this schedule with great sue
cess according to the Southern Pacific
Company officials.
The movement from Lodi to Brigh-
ton, where the cars of grapes are
turned over to the Sacramento divi-
sion, has been remarkable in the length
of trains operated. Thirty trains of
grapes were moved from Lodi in Sep
tember and each train averaged GA
cars. A train of 80 cars of grapes was
run between these two points Septem-
ber IL, a distance of 80 miles in one
hour and Is minutes, without a stop.
Due to the heavy shipments Of per-
ishable commodities from all parts of
the country, and the slowness of con-
signees to release the cars, the short
age of refrigerator cars still continues
but the situation has been somewhat
relieved, and every effort is being made
by the Southern Pacific Company and
the Pacific Fruit Express Company to
further increase the car supply.
