The benefit from eliminating super-
flous trains is not confined to the gain
in motive power for freight. There is
an indirect gain ‘almost as important.
On most railroads freight trains are
continually being run onto sidings to
let passenger trains go by. The con.
sequent delay is one of the chief caus-
es of freight blockados. The fewer
the passenger trains. the better speed
the freight trains can make.
