Freight Cars Give Heat -r And Headache \ Pennsylvania has no seacoast, yet has a navy yard. The Army engineers on the Alcan highway were snu, and warm despite the frigid weather. They had come upon an unexpected supply of wood and their fires crackled and roared as they fed it to them." * It was a few short hour* of solid comfort for the engineers-- followed by a three-year headache for the whole railroad industry. . The men, it developed later, had ripped apart three wooden boxcars that had brought in construction supplies and used the pieces for their firewood. The vanished freight cars unbalanced the railroad car accounting system for thirty-six. months before their movements were tracked down and the cause of death established. This happened during World War II. Fortunately, it doesn't happen often, or the small army of bookkeepers who keep track of the nation's 2,000,000 freight cars would be living on aspirin. These are the folks who know why a string of Western Maryland freight cars is standing on a siding in Peoria and why you see Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville cars passing through Connecticut. To them It all seems simplo. To the layman it is sometimes incomprehensible. The answer lies in an intricate system of interchanging, designed to allow the movement of freight from coast to coast without removing it from the car into which it was originally loaded. It was not always thifa. In the early days of American railroading, freight shipments had to be transferred from one car to another every time they moved from one railroad to another. With the adoption of a standard track size and width between rails >{iear the end of the last century it became possible to switch cars between railroads-- and the interchange system was born.

Railroad Industry Today the system has been worked out. to, the point where the owner of a freight car never sees it from one end of the year to the other. As a matter of fact, one railroad recently figured out that in the course of four years one of its cars had through the hands of e^rhtythree different railro&a*--some as many as te'h times--and had traveled through every state irt the Union, plus Mexico and Canada. One of the big intricaciea of the system comes when a raiK road has to pay for the use of til car belonging to another road. The charge is a surprisingly nominal $2 a day--far less thai* it costs the average citizen to* rent an autompbile. Here's where that small army-, of bookkeepers comes in. One of| the larger Eastern roads keepsfj over 300 people busy on car records--even though they use? the most modern bookkeeping^ and sorting machines in their work. ^ As a glimpse of the complexity of this operation, the conductor of every freight train must mike out a "wheel report," listing all cars in his train. These reports go to a central office each day, where the complicated process of keeping track of the cars is a never-ending operation. When you consider that even a medium-sized Eastern ' railroad often has as many as 12,000 of it^ own cars operating on other roads and up to 10,000 "foreign" cars on its tracks, the efficiency^ of the -railroaders who always, know where their freight cars are assuihes staggering proportions. Sometimes they lose * couple, but seldom for lbnger then a day. Unless, of course, they get chopped up for firewood--which isn't likely to Hfcppen again. ' TIMES HAVE CHANOBD ^ There Was a time when a fellow wanted 'k vacation he asked the boss--now he asks Uu finance company, too. wvsmmt cHEAnmT women* or toWsi PUOnMEAXJER WAN* ADS IAW CHANGES ON VEHICLE LIGHTS ARE RECOMMENDED Changes,'in the Illinois traffic law pertaining to lights on moving vehicles have been suggested by the Chicago Motor club. At present, Illinois law requires that between sunset end sunrise every motor vehicle shall display two lighted lamps "visible at least 500 feet in the direction" the vehicle la proceeding. This requirement is intended to enable pedestrians and other motorists to see the >car approacMhg. »lt doe* not keen that the lights on en automobile shall aid the driver to see Objects ahead of him. Two car.dlcs casting their light for 500 feet would fulfill the requirement of the present law. The changes proposed toy the Chicago Motor club will require motorists to drive with lights of such intensity that they would be able to see at' least 200 feet ahead. This means that the present practice or driving with parking lights would be prohibited. Today, driving with parking lights does not conflict with the law. » - . Another portion of tftfc'. bia would make it mandatory to have lights not bnly dtferiljtfs the period from sunset to sSftrfse, hot at any other time When there is not sufficient light to provide visibility for 800 feet ahead, such as during rainstorms fogs, drizzle or other adverse weather conditions.
