investigation will conclusively
demonstrate that no such necessity
exists. Potomac yard, located about
four miles south of Washington and
operated by the Richmond, Fredericks-
burg and Potomac Railroad, is the
converging point for freight moving
from the South over the Southern
Railway, the Atlantic Coast Line and
the Seaboard Air Line, and from the
West over the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railroad: there il IS transferred either
to the Pennsylvania Railroad or to
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, to be
delivered at Washington or to be
transported through Washington for
points further north.
THE Potomac yard presently has
capacity for the accommodation of
approximately $500 ears, with every
modern facility for the efficient hand
ling of carload freight in transit on
huge scale. There are stock yards for
feeding stock, repair shops for repair
ing crippled ears. icing facilities for
supplying ice needed, and a competent
traffic bureau for checking rates. The
holding company continually main
tains a large sinking fund for repairs,
replacements and developments to
meet the changing needs of changing
times.
The fact that the Southern Rail
way has recently abandoned its
Cameron yard, located about i Il
miles south of Alexandria, Va,
indicates that the Potomac yard is
adequate to meet ali present require
ments, the Cameron yard being
available in case an overflow should
ever develop.
