ST. LOUIS: TERMINAL EFFICIENCY IS NO "IMPOSSIBLE DREAM"

As one phase of the Labor/Management Executive Committee activity established with DOT/FRA participation in 1970, a Terminal Task Force was organized to look at a number of situations where traffic was being delayed because of poor operating practices, work-rule restrictions and government restrictions. Starting in 1973, Missouri Pacific's St. Louis Terminal became one of the sites for experimentation. Funding of the project is by Labor, AAR, FRA, and MP. Two experiments involving car movements are under way, a third experiment not involving car movement is in progress and six more phases are being developed.
