Illinois Central System Says Service Is
Keynote in Handling Freight
The freight service of the Illinois Central System is founded upon prompt and
regular movement of freight and the considerate treatment of patrons' wants by an
organization which tries to render a, service of satisfaction. We hold those to be
the requisite elements of freight service.
The Illinois Central System is among the leading railroads of the country in han
dling perishable freight. Fruits from the tropics arriving by steamships are moved
north from the port of New Orleans in solid trainloads for distribution to marketing
centers throughout the country. Domestic fruits and vegetables produced in Louisi
ana, Mississippi and Tennessee are loaded at stations on our lines and shipped to prin
cipal points throughout the United States and Canada, moving largely in solid train
loads. Vegetables from the Rio Grande valley of Texas'move in substantial volume
through the Baton Rouge gateway and are handled by the Illinois Central System
from Baton Rouge to principal points in the North and East. Solid trainloads of
meat and packinghouse products are handled between Omaha, Sioux City and Chi
cago. Through trains from Council Bluffs to Chicago carry California vegetables
and fruits.
Transportation of quality and quantity is an essential for the well-being and de
velopment of trade in commodities commonly classed as perishable freight. With
out rapid and dependable transportation service consuming centers would have to
depend on supplies from relatively nearby points of production, and trade generally
would be contracted. The accurate maintenance of schedules is important in han
dling perishable freight. As an example of the kind of service rendered by the
Illinois Central System, it is worthy to note that during the past six months our fast
freight trains handling perishable and other high-class freight long distances have
made scheduled early morning deliveries 99 per cent oh time. A bureau in the of
fice of our car accountant at Chicago receives telegraphic advices of the movement'
of cars loaded with perishable freight and is able at any time to furnish shippers of
such cars or consignees the exact location and probable time of arrival or delivery
to connecting line. ' . ,
Fast merchandise trains are operated out of all the principal cities on the Illinois
Central System on schedules which enable specialization in forwarding the freight
the same day received. - . v
The Illinois Central System also ranks among the leaders of the railroads in
originating coal and lumber traffic. This class of traffic does not require such
rapid movement as perishable freight and merchandise, but does require regular
. and dependable service, which we are enabled to give through a well-equipped trans
portation plant and special attention to the freight movement. To a large extent
these commodities are classified into solid trains and handled long distances intact,
thus minimizing detention at terminals.
Not all cars are handled without delay. Delays occur from causes beyond our
control others from causes under our control. The delays, however, are extremely
v small, taking into consideration the thousands of cars handled daily. A loaded car
found delayed is immediately placed in a preferred class, through special carding and
notation on waybill, and (handled in fast freight trains to avoid further delay and,
if possible, to overcome that already sustained.
We are continually adding to our equipment in the effort to keep abreast of
traffic demarfds. We own 1,700 locomotives and 69,127 freight cars. Since the re
turn from federal control we have purchased and received 150 locomotives, 1,000
refrigerator cars, 300 stock cars and 200 fla? cars. We have recently placed orders
for 2,000 additional gondola cars and 1,000 additional refrigerators.
. We are striving constantly to perfect all departments of our service. We re
alize that our worth to the public is measured by the service we give, and we invite
the public to call upon us for any service, small or large.
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.

- President, Illinois Central System.
