Railway Age 1960 July 11 Weekly PFE expands its reefer fleet
Railway Age Weekly July 11 1960 Vol 149 No 2
CONTENTS
Work rules arbitration rejected p. 9
The unions want the dispute referred to a "special wage structure commission" for study-but they don't want any such commission's findings to be binding. The carriers feel that they "just can't dissipate two or three years in a study that would not be binding and final."
Cover Story-PFE expands its mechanical reefer fleet p.22
The company's Los Angeles shop is turning out five units a day to complete an order for 1,000 mechanical refrigerator cars. When the $26,000,000 order is finished, PFE will own the country's largest fleet of mechanical reefers.
Wheat traffic outlook good p.41
Despite adverse weather conditions that put the winter wheat harvest behind schedule, most traffic men are looking for substantial increases in grain loadings.
Frisco must modify CofGa plan p.46
The ICC has refused to approve Frisco's plan for trusteeing its CofGa stock unless the trust agreement is changed to permit the trustee to sell the stock to any railroad offering to purchase it under terms found just and reasonable by the Commission.
Industrial holidays cut RR forces p.47
Declining freight volume-caused partly by the practice, in some industries, of taking long summer holidays-has resulted in a spurt of railroad layoffs. PRR reports the biggest reduction-2,200 employees furloughed indefinitely.
The Action Page-RRs' 'average' vs. competitors' best p.50
In most businesses competitors put forward their most attractive merchandise. It's different in transp. More often than not, when railroads compete with other transport media, they are allowed to cite only their average performance, rather than the best of which they're capable.
