VIOETABII COMPOUND 4 WA N T E D 20,466 BOXCARS When a serious boxcar shortage last Fall blocked the full movement of new grain and other commodities to markets, Great Northern then gave shippers in its territory . indisputable facts behind that deplorable situation. Today seven months later Great Northern is obligated to advise shippers that there has been no improvement in the box car supply on its lines. Factually, the car situation now is worse than in August, and the railway proposes to again tell why. Great Northern is not receiving its de served, proportionate share of boxcars be cause other lines, principally those in the' East, are using them. This railway owns 23,789 boxcars, a very large number of them top-grade, built es pecially for hauling grain, forest products and other commodities requiring protection from weather. On March 10, 1947, Great Northern had on its line only 13,737 boxcars, which repre sented 57.7 per cent of the railway's total ownership. The important fact in those figures is that only 3,323 of the 13,737 cars were Great Northern-owned. The other 10,414 boxcars on the railway on that date belonged ,to other railways, and far too many of them were unfit for transporting . grain, flour and dressed lumber. Where are 20,466 Great Northern box cars, which are so desperately needed by" shippers along the railway? Boxcars do a lot of traveling. They roll from coast to coast and over both borders. Yet, Great Northern has strong convictions, based on observations and Association of ' American Railroads statistics, that most of our truant cars are working for lines East of the Mississippi River. ' The association reported on Febru ary 1 (the most recent figures available) that boxcar possession on all rail roads in the Eastern and Allegheny ter ritories, then was 110.1 and 103.1 per cent, respectively, of ownership. The same association,' of which Great Northern is a member, consistently has promised relief for shippers on the railway and with equal consistence has failed to effect any appreciable im provement in getting our own cars back home. V Lack of materials for new car construc tion has, of course, contributed to the box car headache. Great Northern has been un able to obtain materials for building 500 new boxcars, authorized almost a year ago. The railway industry has been told that an increasing amount of steel and lumber will be available for new car construction. It will be a year or more before enough boxcars can be built to bring the supply back to normal. Meanwhile, Great Northern intends to continue its daily fight for an equitable sup ply of boxcars its own, preferably for shippers on the railway.
