Motor trucks cannot replace rail for heavy loads say Katy officials
Katy railroad officials say trucks will play a growing but limited role. A July 20 record train of 118 cars totaling 6,029 tons moved from Franklin to Baden yards, St Louis, handled by a five man crew. To equal that tonnage by trucks would require 1,000 vehicles and 10,000 drivers over vast lengths, making such performance physically and economically impossible. For long heavy hauls rail remains essential.
