Freight Car Demand Strains Major Rail Lines
Pittsnine August 4. Demand for freight cars has surged, straining railroads centered in the city. The Pennsylvania system reports 1000 more cars needed west of Pittsburgh than it can supply, with the Baltimore and Ohio also facing shortages. A severe wreck on the Pittsburg division near Walls Station followed a coke train axle failure in Carpenter's tunnel, piling engine and cars. The engineer and fireman escaped miraculously, and relief crews cleared the obstruction by late morning, forcing through trains to reroute at Blair intersection.
