Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, April 15.—The route from section hand to railroad presi- dent traveled by many transporta- tion executives has not been closed, but it probably will not much longer be routed via the handcar. The Pennsylvania lines, for example, are contemplating replacement of all old- style handcars, which have been the mode of transporting track crews for generations, with gasoline motor cars. The road intends to motorize all forces engaged in malntenance and repair of rights of way Over 1,000 of the new vehicles now are in use and it is said the economy and efficiency attained have allowed the withdrawal of over 1500 of the hand-operated cars. Track gangs in the past have varied from 6 to 15 men_under charge of a foreman. It has been found that on most stretches of road the mileage covered by section gangs, telegraph and signal main- tenance gangs and bridge inspectors has been greatly increased More Work Accomplished. The use of the new equipment has enabled the employment of larger gangs required by the increasing weight and bulk of the materfals used in track construction and repair. These gangs are carried to the point indicated by track inspectors more quickly, and it has been shown that they arrive in physical condition to do more and better work than if they were forced to furnish their own mo- tive power. The change. however, has required development of a new type of vehicle which can readily be removed from the track and replaced to avold the frequent trains on sections of the road under heavy traffic. So far the change has resulted in the reduction of the number of sections by 215. This adaptation of the ~gasoline motor is a natural development of the increased popularity of the motor truck. Up to 1910 only 25.000 motor trucks had been manufactured by the entire gasoline motor industry. Truck Output Amazing. Over 2,350,000 have been made since that time, and the present production of trucks is about 375,000 a vear. It is estimated that 1,450 different lines of business are now utilizing them. Thirty-three railroads now are using them as part of their shipping service, and a score of other carriers are pre- paring to put such vehicles into oper- ation shortly. There are about 6500 gasoline rail motor coaches in opera- tion in this country, and such equip- ment is being constantly increased Twenty-four other roads are contem- plating using them within the year. Ready for Tourist Rush, The railroads are preparing for a terrific rush of tourists to the great national parks this Summer. A total of 1,422,353 people visited the parks in 1924, according to Stephen T. Mather, director of the parks. This was an increase of about 11 per cent compared with 1923, and the traffic this season is expected to exceed 1,500,000 passengers. A huge number of these will see the wonders of the national playgrounds from busses, and bus fleets are being increased as rapid- ly as manufacturers can turn out the units ordered. Bus Fleets Serve Parks. One manufacturer alone has sup- plied 315 buses for the Yellowstone, including the vehicles for carrying passengers, baggage and hotel sup- plies. A new bus fleet will be in operation In Zion National Park in Utah, running from the railroad at Cedar City to Cedar Brakes, Bryce Canyon and Zion Park. Rock Moun tain Park in Colorado has increased bus fleets, as has Yosemite Park in California, the Grand Canyon, Rainier National Park in Washington, Pikes Peak and Glacier National Park. Canada is buying American trucks for the tourist traffic around Banff, Lake Louise, Lake Windemere and other points in the Canadian Rockies, and practically all the parks are add ing trucks for carrying supplies and | baggage.

EQUIPMENT TRUSTS. In my last article I called attention to testimony of the strength of equip- ment trust notes shown by the St Paul ip. Interest on these certificates Is being paid by order of the court notwithstanding the bank- ruptey of the road. As a matter of fact there have been but two defaults among railroad equipments for man years and these two defaults by road extremely weak, so much so that for # long time neither earned taxes or operating expenses. The chances are that investors in these two cases will not_suffer a total loss. When the great volume of this kind of financing is considered these two instances have no significance. Proba- bly nowhere in the entire investment field outside of United States Govern- ment and of gilt-edge real estate mort- gages can be found so great security as in railway equipments. As might he expected from their high quality the return obtainable on these obliga- tions is comparatively small, ranging around 5 per cent at rresent. Equipment trusts are not listed on any exchange, but they have a ready market nevertheless and can be bought and sold in any quantity at only slight variations in price. They are not as well known as they ought to be to the average investor, the pur- chasers being mostly banks, financial institutions and large capitalists. For one who must have a high degree of safety, ready marketability and is will- ing to take a return only a little high- er than the savings bank pays, equip- ment trust certificates are highly de- sirable.
