Ireight cars are the worlds (

you've wondered how it I apt
that every freight train y
is made up of cars from a
a do/en of more raidroad* I
the answer.
Under the American rail
system, officials of the Mi-
Kansas-Texas Railroad p .
out. it is possible for a ft.
car owned by any railroad to
used on any other railroad in
country.
I'nder the system, a car can h-
loaded in any section of the I
led States and deliver* d to an
other scot inn often iravelb
over a number of railroad Inn -
without being unloaded en to
A natural thought is the 0 .
tion of how the ow ner-millt a 1
keeps track of its ears and how it
gets paid hack for its use
The answer, says Katy-R ;l
road is the Car Service Division
ot the American Assn. of R;t
roads, l, keeps track « f the en
and serves as referee.
Since 1920 until last Fcbruat
a railroad ti-coifed a dollat
•lay for each of its cars in *• t
vice on other railroads The li t.
was hiked to SI 15 a day on l-'i b
