Railway Age May 27 1957 Vol 142 No 21
CONTENTS
Bookkeeping changes no cure-all P. 9
Do the ICC's accounting requirements need overhaul? What's been the effect of the fast write-off program? Here's a roundup of important viewpoints on this hot topic.
Western roads dig out from storm havoc p.10
Tornados, violent rains and resultant floods snarled traffic and communications leaving a still-unestimated damage bill in their wake.
Railroads should spend a lot more p.28
But they lack the capital they need, as J. M. Symes sees it. Operating at capacity of shrinking facilities, they must have the right to abandon hopeless services and the freedom to adjust prices.
Atoms and turbine for the future p.31
Not designed for "long hair" research, the New York Central's new test center is scene for pay-off probes into a new gas-turbine locomotive, new fuels, nuclear potentialities, and paint and Tube oil improvement.
Repair and rebuild-or buy new? p.33
ARCI President Selig sees it this way: The multi-million dollar gamble involved should force railroads to decide if added service life justifies repair expense and whether post-repair upkeep costs will be reasonable.
Case of the 'burning' trestle p.34
Not "whodunnit?" but "what does it?" A see-for-yourself photo sequence shows how injection of flame suppressant in a timber bridge limits effects of 1,500 degree flames to surface charring.
To save-spend; to compete-fight p.37
How to get your money's worth with costs skyrocketing is the theme of the Purchases & Stores Division meeting.
The Action Page-Who hauls the canned goods? . p.46
Data on this one commodity shows the truckers getting the short-haul volume with the over-200-mile business going to the railroads. The industry needs more such statistics to get a sharp focus on the whole transport market.
