But you can bet on this.

Whenever a boxcar unloads in a grain-producing area be it tin'cans, builders' hardware Or farm equipment she goes back packed with grain service building for garages and 4. LOST WEEKEND. But what's this? A precious NP boxcar standing idle? How come? Well, it seems most everyone (except fanners arid the railroads) operates on 5-day week. Result: hundreds of NP boxcars are stopped dead in their tracks from Friday afternoon until Monday morning waiting to load or unload. What can we do about that one? The Office of Defense Transportation, Shippers Advisory Boards and the railroads are urging all shippers to stagger the work weeks of their loading crews, shops.

S.TIMI OUT FOR REPAIRS. On V-J Day freight trains never even stopped for breath. This summer the railroads actually loaded more boxcars than during peak wartime days.
