25X1 1? Co nest Q The 25X1
tabulation contains additional information on the types of locomotives
available and the number of locomotives reosired in railroad repair shops
and railroad maintenance shops during Novenber 1953. As compared with the
tabulation of October,, the total number of state-owned locomotives decreased
by 30, the number of dana ;ed locomotives in this category by 6.;9 aci the
number of operational locomotives increased by 34. This indicates that 30
damaged state-owned .locor totives were scrapped, while 34 damaged l oc =.otives
were. repaired and transferred to the park of operational locomotives. The
number of state-owned serviceable locomotives decreased by 95, while the
number of coal dust-firing locomotives increased by 6 units, which was the
first increase in this category since several months. The park of column
locomotives increased by one type 01 locomotive, an express train locomotive
Yahicb, according to a previous report, was added to Locomotive Column No 442
Besides there were fluctuations between the. number of serviceable colemU
locomotives and the number of column locomotives under repair. The total number
of foreign-owned locomotives decreased by 36 units which were deactivated and
possibly scrapped,; The total number of narrow-gauge locomotives increased
by one locomotive of 750-nn gate which was probably newly manufactured.

The regional.. railroad headquarters decreased by 12 and 13 locomotives respectively,,,
These locomotives were probably put in operation during peak traffic In fate. ;,

locomotive of 750- gauge. The origin of the remaining iocomotivez is not
