IDLE IN YARDS
Small Locomotives Owned by
Pcnnsy Being Stored on
Tracks at Sunbury
Sunbury, Pa., April 23.—More
than fifty idle locomotives lying on
the shop tracks at DY yards of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, at
Sunbury, is considered indicative of
the slack times in railroad work
here. These engines, many of them
of the smaller types all have covers
over the stacks which show that
they have been out of service for
some time. The tenders as a rule
are full of coal, which would indi
cate that the government has plenty
of fuel and to spare for railroad
work.
Numerous railroad men in the
operating service have been laid off,
while those in the "pool" are only
working three and four days a week.
Clerks have been laid off right and
left, some of them having families.
Women are still given employment,
although not in as large a number
as before the boys came home from
war. Most of the railroad men who
gave up their work to go into the
army, however, are still with the
28th Division.
