Charlotte Observer
Pullman car traffic on the Southern Railway has never been so heavy before as it is now, during the pre-Christmas rush, according to R.H. Graham, division passenger agent. Day coach travel also is heavy, he said yesterday, but not more so than in past years. Pullman travel, however, he said, is breaking all records for the Southern lines. The travel over the main line is particularly heavy, according to Mr. Grham. Numbers of the main line through trains are being operated in two sections.
Mr. Graham said that the Southern, like other railroads, is experiencing the greatest difficulty in getting into Jacksonville, Fla. Even its crack trains from the middle west to Florida are delayed several ours outside of Jacksonville waiting for a clear track into the station he said, on account of the unprecedented congestion.
