Fourth morning coast-to-coast P. 9
Santa Fe will start hauling containers next month on an expedited Chicago - Los Angeles schedule that will make possible delivery in Los Angeles fourth morning out of New York. Santa Fe says trailers can also be handled "if there is a demand."

Court won't halt merger p.36
A Federal District Judge in Detroit refused to issue an injunction to prevent consummation of Erie-Lackawanna merger, granting instead a temporary restraining order to prevent the consolidated company from changing the status of employees until a three-judge court can decide the labor suit against the merger.
