Principally responsible Is the
longer time to load, serve anc
unload the greater number oi
passengers now carried because
of restrictions on other means
of transportation.
The railroad is making every
effort to maintain its high per-formance
record without resort-ing
to slower schedules, often
necessary under wartime condi-tions.
While the over-all perform-ance
average still is high, the
railroad realizes the inconveni-ence
suffered by passengers on
trains which are delayed. Special
steps are being taken to over-come
those factors within the
railroad's control which have
more or less consistently delayed
certain trains.
During June, the Long Island
Rail Road operated 21,646" pas-senger
trains, of which 18,363
were on time. 'Only a small per-centage
of delayed trains were
