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

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.
