Railway Trucks in Short Supply With three overseas vessels and one coastal vessel discharging at Lyttelton yesterday, railway officials at Lyttelton were kept busy in averting a threatened shortage of trucks and tarpaulins. With the assistance of an extra engine from Linwood for shunting, and by working the shunters and engine crews longer hours, sufficient trucks were provided to keep all the vessels working. The shortage is a seasonal one, as at this time of the year a large number of trucks are in use on country lines.
