Excerpt from The Carman's Helper

At the present time there is a general plea for better maintenance of freight cars. Various influences have made the problem more difficult each year. The demands made on the cars have grown so fast that the closest attention to proper methods Of maintenance are required.

The general pooling of cars took away the control over maintenance standards of a railroad's own equipment to a great degree. This is particularly noticed in the box car. A few years ago the majority of roads had from 35 to 45 per cent of their box cars on their own road. The percentage has now dropped as low as 7 to l? Per cent.
