This was the second United States
rail shipment brought through since
the Russians imposed restrictions
Wednesday midnight on the line
between Berlin and the Western oc-
cupation zones. 1t came through
after cancellation of an American
emergency air supply system.
The British also brought three
maintenance trains through over
the week end. They said their rail
freight service into Berlin Is operat-
ing normally.
The special train Of 1t. Gen. Sir
Brian Robertson, British COM
