N. 0. Friday‘s Traffic to. Toronto Made Running of No. 46 in Two Sections. First Sunday Special Bince Wartime, : â€" ‘ Reports from North Bay, Englehart, Cochrane and other sections of the T. N. 0. suggest that Christmas "traffic on the railway this year made a retord for several years past. Those travellâ€" ing from Timmins the latter part of last week or the beginning this say that the passenger trade was unusually heavy. It looked like earlier days when the accommodation was hardly suiâ€" clent for the needs. At present, howâ€" ever, the T. N. â€"O. has sufficient equipment to handleé nearly any such situation, provided there is any. notica of it learned in time. On Friday last traffic was so heavy to Toronto that it was necessary to run 46, southbound, in two sections. The first section CArâ€" ried the mail car and ten sleeping cars and accommodation was at premium Much of the available spacte had been booked in advance. Extra sleepers were sent north for Train 46, but the accomâ€" ‘modation was scarcely enough for the ‘demand. School teachers go.ng south ‘for the hnolidays formed a numerous ‘company, while others going home t01 ‘the south for Christmas added to the Tush. On Saturday and Sunday there was also another rush for accommodaâ€" tion and extra coaches were necessary o handle the crowds. northbound» traffic on the line was not. so heavy, yet it was also surprisingly largv_e. t.hera; . who,.were . going. home. for.. CRrIStk On. Monday the traffic south was 1 so large, but that evening showed .a ‘return to an increase in the travel Lo VA AB. _ VR ie on s t in 9 5$ north. Since then traffic north on the T. N. O. hasbeenheavy,soma.ny returning from the south after spendâ€" ing the holidays with relatives and ‘Qne of the features of the handling of the traffic was the arranging for a special train on the T. N. 0. on Sunâ€" day, Christmas Eve, for the accomâ€" modation of those go‘ng south. This is the first time, it is said, since the days of the war that a Sunday spectal has been necessary. On Sunday a train was run from Cochrane to North: Bay for the advantage of those wishing to go south. - | No doubt the reduced fares for the holiday season had something to do with the increased railway traffic durâ€" ing the holiday season, but it is equally evident that times are also improving ‘to such an extent that railway traffic shmvs decided tendency to increase. The reduced rates available at Gm‘lst-‘ mas and New Year‘s will undoubtedly‘ nelp along, ‘the tendency to patronize the rallways ‘for holiday trips.
