Heavy Business For Atlantic Region 0f. the G. N. ll.

By W. U. APPLETON (Vice-President and General Man- ager. Atlantic Reirion. Canadian ‘National Railways)

In war-time as iii peace. the rail- ways of Canada are carrying on in their work or‘ supplying the vital transport needs of the nation. Dur- ing the past year the Canadian NBEIOIIBI Sistem. flaarticularlv tli

as upon tomove an increasing amount of tirifiic with the expanding pro- cluc on of Canada's war-time in- dustry. Shel s. tanks. armored

trucks, airplanes. guns. steel and all;

the essentials of war as it is being fought in these days are pouring out of Canada's factories in an ever- IIICTHISIIIE. stream‘ with the rlsiig tcnipo of production. In addition there are the products that go into the making of these weapons and the increased volume of domestic trade; all these must be takencare 01 and moved with acceleration.

Idea of ’l‘rziffic Volume

_ To lzivc some idea cf what this increased voliune of traffic means as compared. with the last war. the

flowing figures will prove some- what stzirtling. During the vear 1915 (war was declared on August 4, 1914) 122.619 tons of crverseas freight iveri- lllUYUd ovcr the Canadian Covcrimiciit Railways to At.riiitic

Doris and in addition 35.600 tons of,

slee‘ furizlriiis were moved from steel mills iii Nova Scotia to polriis within Canada. For the past villi‘- tothe ivcek ending December 14. a

total of 240.504 carloaris of freight‘ ill

‘cd over the Atlantic Region. nu case of_ 55.545 carioads over the .. espondinc period for the ure- vious year. In tons. these 240.504 car oads would be equivalent to sp- DfflXillltlifflv 8.850.547. To the end of August inst vcar (war was declared on September 3rd) a tot-iii of 120.757 cririorics of freight were handled cvcr lhc Atlantic Reizioii from Jain-- ary 1st, as compared with 162.552 this veiir. Ccmparinz operating per- centages this year with last, there has been an increase of approxi- niiitclv 43.9 iii the number cf freight train riiiles and 10.7 in passenger train mi es. Net ton miles show an increase of 87.2 per cent. With re- tzard to these operating percentages. the National Transcontinental divi- 510D occupies an important position. In ccmparinv the past vear's per- formance with the vear previouscn the basis of i000 gross tcn miles of freight mused per mile of road there is an iticrease of approximately 636 per cent. Comparing these cnrload- inc flzurcs it must be borne in mind that, in addition, empty cars had

moved and placed for loading. 0n top of all this freight move- ment, there has been a greatly fic- celerritpd passenger traffic includ- ing inilliarv specials with troops moving to seaboard to embark for circrseas and to the various military camps within Canada. Approximate- lv 100.000 members of the armed forcesyhavc been moved. over the Atlantic Region during the past year.

(‘ones With Burden

All. this increased traffic hasnat- urallv cfist a greater burden upon the itiilwav vet its capacity and fa- cilities are capable of taking care cf a greater ‘volume. The wisdom of mllilliillliillf! the track and roadbed to a ‘high standard during the dc- iiressicn vears has been amtilv jus- tified iii the light of succeediriz events. The mainline on the At'an- tic Region is laid with l00-lb. see]. fullv ticplat-cd. with over 90 per cent. crccscted tics.

On the outbreak of the present conflict, steps ivere taken to aug- ment the then existing IPICMZIGS of the raiiwav to take care of the in- evitabe incrase in traffic that would naturally ensue. In this con- ricctiQn around two and a half mil- lions of dollars were expended on the Atantio Region in increasing _v.ir:i capacities: proividing new sid- uins and extending others and con- structing a new locomotive erecting shorrat Moncton: a new locomotive terminal at Fnirvlew. near Halifax: a ccalhiz plant at Campbeilton, N. B.: and providing additional loco- motive terminal facilities tit mundston. NB.

A loiio hard struggle is predicted iiliend cf us. but with the certainty ofeveritual victory. Trials andhard- ships will doubtless be our lot but

whether the fight be long or short M

the mcinbers of the railway frater- nitv can be depended upon to carrv on the splendid achievement (f llrzxsc of tlie last Great War. Th

rriilivavnicn of the Atlantic Region of the Canadian National System fire proud of the strategic position rhev occupy in the transport service rind can be depended upon to carry
