Early in Feb. an order was given for the construction of 500 box cars to be constructed at once at the G.T.R. Co.'s shops at Montréal. This will mean that there will have to be considerable additions to the already large staff of car builders in the employ of the Co. The new cars will have a capacity of 60,000 lbs. Work is progressing satisfactorily in the Montréal shops on the passenger & freight locomotives, of which 25 are under order.
