AVERAGE DETENTION OF CARS—1913. Of a total of 29,478 cars reported to the demurrage bureau by eleven westernroads during one month, the average layover or detention time was as shown onthe above diagram. The average detention was days up to October,1912. Asa result of doubling the demurrage charge, the detention time has been decreasedto two and one-half days since that time. The use of cars for storage is one ofthe reasons for the present inefficient use of railroad equipment and the excessiverequirements for car standing tracks. Feeight Haxdlixg—Sectiox 5. 101 BION J.

An average of about 20 per cent of total daily capacityof the team tracks is^ actually used. Road 10 shows most efficient use of teamtracks. Comparison with the operation of the small but typical carload in-boimdfreight house (in which cars are unloaded into the house for storage, thus releas-ing the car) shows the relative inefficiency of imloading direct to teams.
