County engineer G Hathfass says motor truck trains will soon replace rail for freight as war pressures rush development. He cites tests, magazine reports, and a New York Philadelphia express fleet as proof, with Georgia trials showing rail costs for troops at 3.82 vs 1.04 with motor trains. He urges local road paving to enable year-round service and notes Akron to Boston trips.
