Excerpt: "During the war the public gained a new view of the importance of full car loading. It was impressed upon them by the railway companies and the public authorities that everything must be done to save in the use of cars, fuel and labour in the railway service. In the last two years of the war, when munitions, etc., were moving to the seaboard in immense quantities for shipment overseas, there was virtual unanimity between the shippers of export traffic and the railway managements that cars had to be loaded to a considerably higher measure of their capacity." |
