ducted into the ramifications of
door-to-door delivery service.
The general manager describ
ed the undertaking as a "coor
dinated program, integrated with
the traffic and claims depart
ments of the railroad, to provide
Alaskans with first class freight
service."
‘‘With the rehabilitation pro
gram now virtually completed
north of Portage,’ ’he declared,
“the railroad has the finest roll
ing stock and facilities available.
Every effort is now being made
to establish a smoother liaison
between the railroad and its
shippers.”
One phase of that program is
the establishment of new rail
road positions making personnel
available to promote service.
Johnson calls for suggestions
ki
from the general public as to
means of improving delivery.
“Everyone is a stockholder in the
railroad,” he said, “and the ulti
mate goal is to improve service.
‘ The purpose of the traffic and
claims department is to assist
shippers in solving their prob
lems, working out satisfactory
rates, expedting shipments and
handling payment of claims.”
The general manager cites the
inadequacy of the Seward dock
as one of the railroad’s major
problems. He says that freight
cannot be separated there be
cause the dock is designed for
about ten per cent the traffic it
is now bearing.
As a result shipments must be
brought to Anchorage and reas
sembled for each customer. How
ever, the situation was improved
with the railroad taking over the
Army Dock at Seward.
