Shippers to Blame for the Car Shortage Claim
Washington December 21 President A B Stickney of the Chicago Great Western testified to the Interstate Commerce Commission about railroad car shortages. He cited that an average loaded car travels 250 miles in about 1 day 24 hours and shippers take nine days to load and unload each car. He argued forcing faster loading would effectively add 1,700,000 cars without cost or capital increase to railroads.
