CIV WAR LOADS HEAVY

More than 80 per cent of traffic
on the Grand Trunk Western Lines
of the Canadian National Railways
is made up of war loads, either in
completed manufacture or in raw
materials, principally steel, intended
for war industry. The lines of the
CIV region of the Canadian Ma
tional are in Michigan, Indiana and
Illinois, terminating at Chicago,
with international portals at Detroit
and Port Huron, Mich, and branches
serving plants of all the interna-
tionally known automobile manu-
facturers. These motor plants are
busy on war contracts, some having
been retooled for munitions, while
others are making vehicles for the
Army, yet they are ell prepared
for post war conditions, and any
one could be in production with a
new model passenger car 80 days
after the change over from war to
peace.
