CONTENTS
ICC condemns guaranteed rates P. 9
In throwing out a New York Central contract rate on rugs and carpets, the Commission ruled that such rates "constitute a destructive competitive practice." Two dissenting commissioners protested that the ICC, having called on railroads to overhaul their rates, should now permit "experimentation within legal limits."
M/W panel looks at TOFC p.13
The problems piggyback creates for maintenance departments-and some of the solutions that have evolved-were described at the February meeting of New York's Metropolitan Maintenance of Way Club.
'The fireman's job no longer exists' p.14
That's what the Presidential Railroad Commission was told last week by management witnesses, who also contended that the continued employment of unneeded fireman is impeding technological progress.
Cover Story-What heavy loads do to rail p.16
The steady increase in freight-car capacity means that rail is being pounded more than ever before. Rail, therefore, is subject to severe shelling, head checks and corrugations, especially on sharp curves. G.M. Magee, director engineering research, AAR-in an article written exclusively for Railway Age-points the way to a possible solution.
Milwaukee faction threatens proxy fight p.40
One group of Milwaukee directors isn't satisfied with the stock exchange plan that reportedly would be involved in a Milwaukee-C&NW merger. It would amount to a "shotgun marriage," they assert, and they promise to oppose it with a proxy fight, if necessary.
The Action Page: 90-1 odds are too big p.46
In 1959, federal outlays for railroad competitors were over 90 times more than railroads invested in roadway and structures. There is nothing wrong with railroads that would not be quickly corrected if knowledgeable people, in authority, made the right moves.
