Particulars.

When traveling on ruilronds every
one has had oycarion to notice the
heterogeneous collection of ears that
make up a freight train, says the
Cleveland Leader. It seems, indeed,
that every railroad line in the United
States is represented by a freight car
bearing its name; and the average
truveler wonders how the freight de
partments carry on thuir business in
un intelligible munuer, and how the
different roads know where their
curs are located. Yet tlie system by
which freight ears are handled is
fairly simple and easy to understand.
Before proceeding further it may
be well to define two railroad terms
used in connection with this subject.
The first is known as "home line or
owner.” By this we mean that a rail
road having freight ejirs bearing its
name is known us the home or own
er of thut cur. The second term,
“foreign ear and foreign line," de-
notea a freight car bearing a name
different from that of the railroad
upon which it ia running, and vice
versa.
Suppose a road loads one of its
own cars with freight and wishes to
ship that car to some point lying
upon its own line. The car is simply
attached to a freight train und
drawn to its destination, aud, when
unloaded, it is ready for use again.
In this ease there is no trouble; but
suppose that car, instead of being
shipped to some point on the "home
line,” is to be sent to some place
many miles away, which does not lie
on the road owning the car? The
ease is not so simple now. The car is
run on tlie "home line” as far as pos
sible towards its destination. Then,
ut some junction, the cur is trans
ferred on to another road and ia at
tached to some freight train that
will pass through the place where
the car is billed to. It often hap
pens, however, that this place is not
reached by the second road, either.
In this case the same system is used
as in the first place. The car is sent
as far as possible and then trans-
