I i N EWS or THfta \ L NO RELIEF YET I FOR RAILROADS I Local Officials Say Spring May Bring Change; Engines and Crews Scarce Present freight conditions, in the opinion of local officials, may continue until Spring. Immediate relief will come with the lifting of freight em bargoes, and orders to move freight now stored in yards between New York and Pittsburgh. Coal traffic is still heavy. Present conditions became more seri ous within the past week due to the Christmas rush. On the Middle and | Philadelphia divisions, the one great | need to-day was engines. Some im- | provement was reported in the move- ] -nent of trains at noon to-day by rea son of the clearing of the yards ai I Philadelphia. On the Reading Railroad, between Hairisburg. Heading and Allentown, the heaviest freight movement in sev eral months was reported yesterday. Beginning last Thursday and continu ing up to last night at midnight, be tween 8,000 and 10,000 cars were i handled. New Rail Order Record From Lehigh Valley The I.ehigh Valley Railroad has I purchased 2.i00 tons of 186-pound rail, i This is the heaviest rail ever rolled for a steam railroad, and the maintenance of way department plans to experi ment with it, with a view t its adop tion as standard by that lint The 136- pound rail means that every running yard of it weighs 136-pounds. Growth of heavy traffic and n desire to attain the best possible efficiency i for its rails is responsible for the ex perlment. The new rails will be seven Inches i high and six and one-half Inches wide! |at the base. When It is remembered i that a 110-poutul rail is only six inches i high and five and one inches wide at j the base, the difference )s readily ap- j parent. The increased height and width means a much better rail in every way I according to Lehigh Valley officials. 1 RAILROAD NOTES The Pennsylvania railroad oil Sat urday will run an excursion to Phila delphia for the Mummers' parade. It is estimated that on the Pitts burgh division alone, forty-nine miles of freight is stored. Michael E. Kernsler, a brakeman employed on the Philadelphia and Reading railroad. Saturday was injur- j ed in Rutherford yards. He was hit j by a passing draft of cars, receiving cuts on the head and face. After re ceiving treatment he was sent to hisj home at Reading.
