Railway Age 1957 May 6 Weekly Short Lines Why program Maintenance of Way?
Railway Age May 6 1957 Vol 142 No 18
CONTENTS
Short lines gird for tomorrow p.9
Rolling up their sleeves, they show alertness to progressive railroading techniques. Here's a sampling of short line leaders' own views on the short line picture today.
CPR is confident about the future p.11
This attitude, says Norris R. Crump, the road's president, is the result of methodical study of economic developments in Canada and preparations the CPR has made to adapt its operations to the changing scene.
'Firm' M/W programing vs. cutbacks p.30
There's a growing school of thought among management officers to the effect that "firm" annual programing of maintenance work is more economical in the long run than the "stop and go" variety.
How's the Long Island doing? p.33
The railroad, long-time butt of would-be humorists, is moving cautiously into a new era. Out of bankruptcy and operating in the black, with revenues slowly increasing and the physical plant in the best shape ever, the LI still moves, however, on thin, if hardening ice.
Journal stops cut hot box rate p.34
R-S journal stops and roll-type waste packing on 1,650 Frisco freight cars have given 21,700 months of service without a hot box on home rails. By the end of 1957, about 20% of the road's car fleet will be equipped with journal stops.
Winning essays in Joseph T. Small contest p.36
Creation of a freight-car pool and modification of current per diem arrangements will increase the car supply. Railroads and car builders can improve net earning power of freight equipment by use of single-sheathed, all-steel box cars. These are the respective conclusions of the two $1,000 prize winners in the recent contest administered by Railway Age.
When is a car effectively 'utilized'? p.52
Paradoxical though it seems, it is entirely possible, from the profit standpoint, that a car may be better "utilized" when it moves 50% empty, than if 100% loaded movement is insisted upon.
