There is certainly no time: to waqw around this place nowsdays." ‘"Our. roundhouse can do at least 80 percent of ‘repairs required for ~an engine," Jack Nicholson, Motive Power and Car department foreman, said. "We have all the heavy equipâ€" ment for most jobs, including . a shaper, a lathe, . compressors,. and welding and drilling machines." _ Compared ~~to standard â€" everyday equipment this machinery is of maâ€" moth size in order to handle the large parts ‘which make up a locomotive. There are stalls for six locomotives in Although Kirkland Lake serves reâ€" latively the same number of people as Timmins (exclusive of Schumacher and ..South . .Porcupine)..freight. shipâ€" ments at the Lake are considerably less than here. Average tonnage at Kirkland is 1,000 per : month, while here the yearâ€"round average is at least 1,600 tons. ; C - .. 4 U se e en * * Nicholson, too, finds thhins very busy ground the yards these days.â€" ‘â€"More than 70 persons are required to keep the local depot operating. motives coming in and out of town, Freight handlers. office staff and ticket agents number 28. There are 22 men employed in the Motive Power department, which does running â€"reâ€" pairs and maintenance on the locoâ€" motives colning in and out of town. The car department has a dozen men servicing box cars and coaches, Ten men are employed as section hands and keeping the rails in the yard in shape. During the Winter . months sometimes 18 men are employed Jn this latter job. Timmins. due to its geographical location, is unique in many ways. For examole, more freight via railway enâ€" ters the town for local consumption than prcbably enters any town â€" f similar size in Canada. R Mr, Murray is a relative newcomer to the Porcupine, althoeugh he has served the Ontario Northland for 40 years, at Kirkland Lake, Cobalt: and Englehart. When <the â€"wellâ€"known "Rube" Richardson retired here reâ€". cently, Mr. Murray took his place. Relatively little indication is given that a mass ‘exodus is taking place amongâ€"residents of Timmins, accord- ing to ‘freight office records. "I would say that as much houee- hold goods is coming into Timmins by freight as there is leaving it," Mr. Murray said. "We hit our peak month in recent years during October," Frank J. Murâ€" ray, general agent, said. "In small shipments alone 1.825 tons of entered Timmins. This represents 8,800 individual shipments. This Fall between 15 and 20 carloads a day have been entering town." _ "Furthermore, not so many cars go out of Timmins efnp s you might imagine,", the.,. fgent sa d.;/."On:> «@11 average day three to, four cars : ;of freight leave here in the form of mera chandise being distributed along 'the line by wholesalers." ‘He shid that between two and iour cars of lumber and pulpwood also pull out of the ‘local yards daily. CGars which leave hgre empty are quickly picked tu» along the line by lumbering and pup concerns. No car reachns North Bay unloaded. i# "Cars suitable for the ta‘q,nsport of paper and sulphite are very much in demand," he said. "We have a standâ€" ing order that all first class box cars be sent at once to Iroquois Falls and Kapuskas.ng to make up the dailly paper trains leaving those places." He said that one of the chief comâ€" modities leaving this area was mining timber for export to England for use in British ccal mines. Thirdly. practically noneâ€" of the town‘s incoming goods arrive by transâ€" port truck,. In most communities, these big box cars of the highway pour a large percentage of goods into town. Such is not the case here due â€"to 1 combinationâ€"of iengthy distances, reâ€" stricted permits and bad roads. > So, around the rail yards at the hoad of Third avenue, the scene is usually a busy one. And this Fall it has bcen busier than usual. In the first place, Timmins is almost entirely nonâ€"self â€" susta . ning. The clothes people wear, the food they eat, the articles with which they furnish their homes, all have to be imported. Secondly, Timmins is a . "dead.,. end" tcwn. The place is at the .end Oof rail and there is only.one way into lt, and the same way out. Single Copyâ€"F‘ive Cents Established 1912
