Since January 1st, 1923, the Santa Fe
has purchased new equipment costing
over $50,000,000, including 13,/u0
freight cars and 146 locomotives. It has
spent $43,000,000 additional on new
shops, f"??1!!*1' Ub. TObk. 'J ..h) ----------
As a result, from August 1st to No-
vember 1st, the Santa Fe Railway han-
dled 46,395 cars of commercial freight
in excess of any previous year—an in-
crease of 9.7%—without congestion or
any material delay. Notwithstanding the
heavy calls, cars have been furnished
practically on demand In the few cases
of local shortage, due to excessive local
demand, cars have h on furnished with
such slight delay as to be negligible.
Four years of legislative peace and
fair treatment under the Transportation
Act have been a vital factor in its ability
to meet satisfactorily the lecord-bicaking
freight traffic of the past two years and
maintain a surplus of cars at all times,
barring local temporary shortages.
