CONTENTS
RRs lose round in barge case P. 9
Examiner H. J. Blond has recommended that the ICC turn down the IC-SP request for authority to acquire the John I. Hay Co., a water carrier. He thinks railroad control of the barge line could be granted under certain conditions-but concedes that the railroads would find these conditions "burdensome."
Cover Story-Frisco has big microwave plans p.13
The proposed system would extend along the road's major lines from Kansas City, Mo., to Birmingham, Ala., and from St. Louis, Mo., to Tulsa, Okla. Forty microwave stations are contemplated.
Cover Story-Milwaukee speeds car repairs p.14
The road's four-track, all-weather facility at Bensenville, Ill., built at a cost of $1,000,000, is reducing delays to loaded cars shopped for light repairs.
Cover Story-How precast concrete cuts SP expenses p.18
The road recently completed a line change in Texas which substantially reduced operating expenses and train-operating time. Use of precast, prestressed concrete slabs in six bridges is expected to cut maintenance costs, too.
Missile car readied for test p.32
The first Minuteman car is now in Seattle for installation of launch gear. Here's a detailed description of the car that will rove U.S. rails ready to strike back instantaneously at any enemy.
The Action Page-ICC ups the umbrella p.38
By ordering the establishment of railroad piggyback rates between the East Coast and Texas that are 6% higher than rates for similar service by a "fishyback" water carrier, the Commission has virtually repealed the new rate-making clause of the Transportation Act of 1958. Such manifestly irrational decisions ought to be thoroughly publicized by the railroads.
