Vice-President, Pennsylvania R. B.
By GEN. W. \‘V. A'l'I‘ERBURY
Two outstanding facts about the
railroad industry today are the extra-
ordinary amount of service the roads
are performing. and the plans they
are carrying out for even greater
service. ,
The extent of the service being ren-
dered is best told in the current re-
ports of freight handled. From Jan-
uary 1 to April 21 the railroads moved
the heaviest volume of trafi’lc—for
that time of year—in their history.
'l‘otal carioadings for the week ended
April 28 were about 968.000 .cars.
which was )0 per cent greater than
the traffic in the same period in 1920.
the previous record year.
Th: loadings in the week ended
April 28 were within 5 per cent of tlic
greatcsl numlmr of cars loaded in one
work. \Vliile this viiormmis trafl'ic for
this time of yiar is itself'gxtraordi-
nary. it should also lie remembered
that its movement has been accom-
plished on top of the traffic records of
last autumn. a period of the heaviest
sustained movement of freight in thc
history of the roads.
The. amount of freight handled to
date on the Pennsylvania Railroad
System ecrvts as an interesting meas-
ur‘, of comparison with the traffic of

European ports. immigration au-
thorities in this country could then
check up the number and notify the
ship if the quota for any particular
kroup were already filled, or they
could reserve places for that l’lllm
bur if there were still time. That
would insure all who nit-t ltllt’r r6-

To lllul end plans for greater service
are now under way on all the rail~
roads of the country.
A little more than a month ago.
when the principal officers of the rail-
roads of lllt‘ country were assembled in
erv York City at a joint meeting if
th . Amrriczin itnilwuy Association and
tin» Association of Railway Executivcs.
th~- impruvonient and betterment planai
of cuch system were explained and!
luluilutwl. The plans called for ex-
prnditurvs for grraitcr scrvicc amount-
in: to sirliumnmmm nimut 3440.004.—
"N- of which was spent last year. the
balance. $1.1m»,(w(»_000 being spent
currently or to be spent by the end of
the year.
Last year's expenditures. together
with those of this year. mean the addi-
tion of about 300,000 freight cars and
4,300 locomotives to the equipment of
the railroads of thc country. This is
more than a 1:: per cent, increase in
freight cars and a 6 per cent increase
in locomotive power.
The purchase of new equipment of
the Pennsylvania Railroad System
since last August illustrate the extent
of the additional facilities under way.
The Pennsylvania has ordered. or has
received 57 new passenger locomo-
tives, 475 heavy freight locomotives.
1350 steel passenger coaches. 20 all-
steel dining cars. 100 steel cabin cars
(which are cavooses), and 43 switch-
ing locomotives. In addition. 10.0i10
coal cars on the Pennsylvania. have
been increased from 50 to 70 tons
capacity by the installation of heavier
trucks. This amounts to an increase of
nbcut 4.000 cars.
Besides the new equipment being
placed in service. railroad facilities in
general are being enlarged and im-
proved. The traveler on almost any
line in the country cannot help but
notice the new constructive work now
under way on road beds. terminals and
yards in shop facilities. The total cost
of improvements 0 fthis nature in the
two-year program is estimated at
about $640,000.000.
However large the sum of 81.54“.-
000,000 for greater railroad service
may seem—and it represents the
greatest contribution to increased rail-
road capacity in many years-——there
are COmDrehensive plans under way to
make more eflicicnt the use of exist-
ing equipment and facilities. While
these plans have to do chiefly with
ON-i-ziting methods and policies, they
include also ways in which the public
in general and shippers in particular
can render valuable assistance to the
railroads. to themselves and to the
“0‘1“"? as a whole.
The plans for the 'morc efl‘lcient use
of available facilities include reducing
further the percentage of bad order
equipment: shipping all railroad coal.
and as much 0‘ the Dublic'a coal as is

traflic: the completion of the greater

fore autumn, thereby icleasing equip-
ment for the public‘s use; and the
central control and distribution of the
"eight car equipment of the country
by the car service division of the
Amercan Railway Aggogjuuon.
The public and shippers can materi-
ally aid the roads to reach the goals
they have set for themselves—“30
“ml. per car and so miles a day pg.-
car.’ The present average hiding

to capacity. If this had been done dur-
ing the heavy trafllc last autumn the
equivalent of 187.000 freight cars
would have been addcd to the avail-
able supply of cars. Shippers can as.
sist in increasing the average daily
movement. of cars by loading and un-
loading qulckiy and reducing delay! in
reconsignrnent to a minimum.
In fact. Just as the railroads have
adopted "30 miles a day per car" as
their slogan in the coming months.
shippers might adopt as their slogans
"Load and unload cars on the day of
delivery" and "Do .\’Our full shipping
early."
.\ir. Herbert Hoover recently wrote
a letter to the national and state trade
associations in the United States urg~
ing co-operation between the shippers
and the railroads. and said. “The
pers and the railroads, and said. "The
railroads have asked for this co-operm
tion and ‘the trades can make a tre-
mr ndous contribution to the orderly
march of our prosperity if they \\'.‘.i
undertake it seriously and in on ur-
canizcd fashion. if we can secure the
maximum cillcicncy commodity mnu -
ment then would be brought aboutjiy
flu: addition of approximately 30min.-
cars. 3.000 locomotives. and thc ad-li-
tion of at least in per cent to our
truck mileage and terminal facilities."
So much for the service the roads
are giving and planning to give. Rall-
road managements are looking for-
ward to the coming months with a dc-
gree of confidence qulto unknown in
past years. The railroad industry has
made marked progress in recovery
from war conditions. There. is but our
cloud on the horizon—the political
aspect of the situation.
The railroads have embarked on
their improvement programs in the
faith that they will receive fair treat-
ment at the hands of the American
people. It is generally conceded that
when Congress conienes again in
December all sorts of measures. new
regulations and laws will be intro-
duced either for the alleged purpose
of improving railroad service. or for
the frankly acknowledged purpose of
reducing railroad rates. It cannot be
said that those who advocate reducing
rates by legislative prescription have
in mind the necessity for increasing'
railroad service and its capacity. Nor
can it be said that the proposed laws
will represent any comprehensive
study of either the requirements of the
transportation industry. or the coun-
try's requirements for transportat on.
In this connection there are two lm-
portant facts. one of which is a matter
of every-day knowledge. to which
every constructive—minded citizen
should give due consideration and act
accordingly.
First, for ten years—from 1910 to
1920—state and national legislatures
were busy passing railroad laws of all
kinds, the ultimate effects of which re-
duced railway expansion and seriously
affected railway credit. The greater
the number of laws passed. the greater
the inability of the railroads to meet
the expanding demands of the nation
for rail transportation.
Secondly. since 1920. the year in
which the Transportation Act was
passed. the railroads have not been
permitted to earn what the act says
they are entitled to earn in order to
provide adequate service.
The real way to get better railroad
service is not to pass more laws. but
to give the railroad men a. chance to
show results. ‘ .
