Military Passengers Turned High Traffic For Railroads
Washington July 16 Railroads hauled 4 276 949 troops for an average of 660 miles in the first six months of 1919. About two million officers and men traveled while on furlough and another million were moved from camps to homes after discharge totaling 7 250 000 military passengers. The six month volume required nine million train miles and much equipment went empty one way, the railroad administration says explaining why some trains were crowded and why expansion trains could not meet all requests.
