MtrvALL fiu iNtvvj, rsLAAAAln rMLd, imtOOW VVkONtiUAr, NOV. 16, IV4 Railroads Fight Truck Competition with New, Faster Freight Trains NEW YORX. KEA) Beset by damaging competition tor treicnt from (ruck and even airplanes, the nation's railroads are fighting back. rrr rwi they watched their trucking competitors slash wad lly into their business. Thry suf fered particularly on 150 to SOO mlle. shipment that truck could handle on overnight haul. Alter the irar, many of Um rail line decided to try to recapture at least part of thl lost traffic. They surveyed ahlpper to find out what they canted. And they learned that dependable, acheduled express freight aenrire waa the answer. The ahlppera' accent was on de pendabilitynot speed. Many lactone and retail estab llahment no longer keep b:f in ventory backlogs. They buy their aupplie on a hand-to-mouth basis. Well-timed delirene are vital. Realizing thl. American rail road have acted to meet present day need.. Within the peat two or three year. ome 30 lines throughout the country have put on more than 100 fast-schedule overnight freight train for run averaguig 350 mile. These trains, the Super Chiefs and 20th Century Limited of the freight division, carry a wide range of traffic But aome are giving special attention to the generally light weight merchandise freight called less-than -carload or LCL. Last year thia business accounted for ust 12.7 per cent of all loaded car, and yet the line want to grab a much of such traffic a they can. It' the cream of the trade. A good example of how the rail road are battling to make new headway In this field 1 the New York Central' three-year-old Pace maker Freight Service. The Central ha a pool of 1000 specially-built Pacemaker freight cars capable of rolling 75 mile an hour. Right now the scheduled express freight are being pulled by LEGAL NOTICE simmo.ns roa ri blic aiio.h Ea.eitr Ne. mi; IN THE ClRCt'IT COURT Or TOT STATE Or OREGON IN AND FOB THE COUNTY Or KLAMATH.

Many Trains Several times a week Pacemaker treighta depart In the evening from New York and Boston, with Buffalo their destination. In Buflalo, com parable trains leave for the lo seaboard terminals. The Centrals lines from New York to Buffalo feature four tracks two for freight and two for pas senger train. The 50 -car Pace makers highball over the passenger right-of-way at an average running speed of 42 mile an hour tn their overnight hauls. By comparison, the line s sleek streamliner, the Em pire 8 tat Express, average S3 mile an hour over the same distance. Going westward, a Pacemaker freight out of New York reaches Buffalo around seven the next morning. Solid trains of Pace maker car go no farther. But In dividual car are hooked Into other trains and hauled on into Ohio, Indiana. Illinois and Michigan for second morning delivery. And there Is third morning service to a tew more distant spots. This mean a department store in Columbus. Ohio, can buy goods in New York on a Thursday, get delivery In Columbus Saturday morning and display the merchan dise for sale the following Monday. Many retailers are said to be doing Just that sort of thing. Discovery The railroads discovered it wasn't enough simply to assure dependable schedule from city to city. Ship pers want reliable door-to-door service. So the New York Central any many others stress truck pick ups of goods, with rail shipment the same day if the freight get to the loading terminal by four in the afternoon. At the other end. truck delivery on a prompt schedule is also assured. The Baltimore and Ohio decided this door-to-door reliability wa the big angle, so it developed what it calls the Sentinel service. Main taining fast acheduled freight to the midwest and to southern con necting point, the B. and O. marks particular cars a "Sentinel" and keeps a close check on them at every stage of their travels. Shippers thus know what to expect at all tunes. None of the lines contends its bid for more traffic, especially in the LCL field, will make it ricn. But New York Central says its Pacemaker service has grown from 8 per cent to 20 per cent of Its total LCL business, and may go to SO per cent. It claim to be making more than out-of-pocket expenses. The railroads plainly have no notion they can put the truckers out of business with their deluxe treighta. But they do think they can demonstrate a dependability, speed and flexibility that will at least keep them permanently on a genuinely competitive level with their rivals.
