THE AVERAGE FREIGHT TRAIN
Railway Age

1"N@
The average freight train Of today differs in almost
every important respect from the average freight train
Of a few years ago, although to the casual observer
who waits for it to pass at a highway crossing u
may look just the same. 1t has been changed both by
the effort Of railway arrangements to improve their
service, and by their efforts to effect economies. V
moves at a higher speed than ever before. Eight years
ago it moved ten miles an hour, while il now moves
l2.s miles an hour, an increase Of about q per cens.
During the same period the number of ears in the
average train has increased from about So 70 about
as, or 80 per cent. Unfortunately, from the stand
point Of both railway earnings and expenses, especial
~ the latter, the number Of empty cars in ii has in
creased more than the number of loaded cars. This
apparently has been due to the success Of the cooper
ative efforts OF the railways and the shippers to 81
distribute cars that they will always be where they are
needed. In order to accomplish this purpose II seems
necessary to move relatively more cars empty than
was formerly done in the days Of car shortages" At
any rate, eight years age the average freight train con
tanned only 10 empty cars and 20 loaded cars, while
now IL contains about II empty cars and 81 loaded cars.
There has been a decline in the average number u
tons Of freight in each loaded car. However. despite
the decline in the load per car and an increase IN the
number Of empty cars per train, the average freight
tram because "a its increased length and speed. rem
ders much more freight service than formerly. Eight
years ago the service rendered by the average train
hourly was equivalent 70 carrying Il40 tons one mile.
while now IL il equivalent to carrying 1915 tons one
mile' an increase Of % per cent. Travelling at an ay-
erage speed of about - miles an hour. an the freight
trains in the United States move an average distance
daily q about ~l,G75,OOO miles. This is equivalent %

A Municipal Park and

During the latter part Of June the Dallas melon mar
ket. sorred with the Valley product, slumped w~oefully.
Valley shippers continued to pour in the melons hut
Dallas finally gave up the struggle and refused to eat
all that the Valley could produce.
The alarmed shippers started their cars rolling e
other markets. In a few days the surplus Of melons
on the Dallas market had disappeared, and the demand
for the Valley product revived. On July 4 the Dallas
ties were demanding watermelons, but no melons we're
to be had. The market jumped, shippers tried to d.
vert cars consigned to low markets, but could not get
them into Dallas in time to meet the July 4 demand.
Some day the Valley growers and shippers viii
learn the lesson Of cooperation to secure proper dis
tribution of the Valleys products. Most Of the Valleys
losses, and they run to enormous figures some seasons,
are due to the fact there is practically no cooperation
between shippers and as a result the distribution OF
Valley products, while it is extending each year rs
not productive Of the profits that should accrue to a
region that has the advantage Of being able TO get its
production into the markets at a time when there is
very little competition.

The New Freight Rates

tt. Interstate Commerce Commission has, after
months Of delay. placed the new Southwestern freight
rates into effect. Efforts of Southeastern shipping in-
terests 70 secure an injunction in the federal court ~
St. Louis r~ulted in the court holding il had M power
to interfere, and the rates have gone into effect as
scheduled.
Representatives a. the commission admit that ths
Southwestern tariffs arc IN a very chaotic condition,
but it is apparent they now have the remedy al hant
for practically all the discrepancies and discrimlna-
tions which exist in the new tariff. Time will be re-
ouired to adjust and smooth cut the numerous dis
crepancies. and experience has proved that this can
only be accomplished with the rates in effect. From
the time the Interstate Commerce Commission was Or
ganized. efforts TO make and apply rates satisfactory
10 all interests have proved unavaiiing.
The Southeastern rates. placed in effect IN Janu-
airy. have proved fairly satisfactory to that territory.
Like the Southwestern rates they met strenuous or
position from various interests. The commission
struggled for months with the problem Of adjust
ments, finally gave up in DESPAIR and ordered the rates
into effect. Since that time adjustments have pro-
crossed rapidly and smoothly.
The new rates are far from satisfactory in many
respects. Agriculture is given the preference as pro
vided by the Hoch-Smith resolution, and rates on Va
ley vegetables, especially to Eastern destinations are
materially reduced. But many Of the rates merchau-
disc need adjustment, and both the carriers and ship
pers will be kept busy several months smoothing out
the numerous discrepancies. However, the Southwest
now has a basis upon which equitable rates are yir-
tuaIiy assured. They will prove a handicap to certain
commercial and industrial interests, but the major in
terest OF the neutrality-suspicious. derive many
benefits from the wider range given their production
as a result Of the cut ordered BY the commission.
The loss accruing TO the Valley by reason Of the
suspension of the new rates in December is estimated
at over a million dollars. The was a serious blow to
Valley growers who had been informed they would
secure a material reduction for the 1928 shippin.
season. However, the new rates will be in effect next
season, and should be an important factor in promo:-
ing expansion Of the Valleys markets as we'll as as-
surfing growers a profit on their production.
