Plan to Cut Loading Time Would Double Railcar Use
Washington December 20 President A B Stickney of the Chicago and Great Western railroad told the Interstate Commerce Commission that cutting loading and unloading time from nine to four and a half days per car would effectively double freight equipment. He cites average car distance of 250 miles and one day hauling, arguing the change would add 1 700 000 cars without cost, while new cars would cost 1 360 000 000 and raise annual charges. He bases figures on country wide freight car capacity and notes potential legislative impact on car shortage.
