SHOWS A STEADY GROWTH

Greatest Increase I* In Passenger Coaches* But Other Equipment Is Increased ProportionatelyTexas Railroads Show Favorable Comparison ^ With Rest of the Country The tabic of statistics of cars and locomotives ordered In 1902, prepared by the Railway Age and just Issued In the January numbeeof that masazlne. presents tome Interesting comparisons. In 1902. 195.248 freight cars -were ortiered against 193.139 for 1901, or anyncrease in freight car equipment of X.S09. Four thousand six hundred sixty-fivo locomotives were ordered against 4.340 for 1902. an Increase of 325. This shows less than Hve freight cars for every new engine ordered during the year. When it Is considered, too, that a large percentage of the new engines ordered were of a. larger type end capable of hauling several more cars to the train than the engines built in 1901. the discrepancy between the orders of locomotives and of freight cars is still further emphasized.
