FREIGHT BY RAIL
SPECIALISATION IN SAFETY. In all operations the railway freight service is practically a specialisation in safety. Modern equipment, efficiently used, in loading or unloading, packing, or storing of fragile goods, has virtually banished the breakage bogey. Perishable goods have a quick run in special wagons. Pianos and furniture are sheltered in box wagons which are a safeguard against sweating and other dampness. Meat and dairy produce are carried in insulated Y wagons which prevent deterioration. Whatever may be the goods, hard or soft, light or heavy, the Railway Department will give them the right treatment all the way.
