FreiGht trains running on the electrified Hihachevo
Lavochne (Carpathian lits) stretch have been hauled by two
electric locomotives since the introduction of the
sunner titetable (27 May)*
The electrification of the Huhachevo Chou and the Lw6w
Stryl stretches will be co2p1eted within the next few .
weeks* After the conversion of the 300 hiloneter,Luhw.
Chop lino it is intended to introduce a standard weicht
of 5,600 tons for all freiGht trains from theJ)dnets
Basin; heavy rails of type R.65 will therefore be laid on
the total line*

. I. Personnel
At the Cechoolovahian :';tate Railroads (CID), particularly in
the operational services, workers are to be listed at present
, for future employLent in "developing countries". The fact
that the RR adnini:.trations are very reluctant'in this
matter confirms the:reported continuous dhortaGe of personnel
in their administration areas* The tiauber of railrondben
lirAted is apparently not very larGe*

able, the cities of Pilsen (Plzen) and.Klattau
(Klatovy) will haul the enuivalont cif 1,500 cars of
coal by motor vehicleo of Statc'Hotdr Transport
(CSAD) from the Falkonau (Chr66einc)t lignite mines
over an average distance of 90 kilometers, :
This kind of coal haulage will be introduced in all 'jest I
Bohemia, because the shortage of RR cars has furthe:50x1 -HUM
otevicmIted in Aut:ust.

Podolinec and Orley-Piave? (DV 9060) will be complett;d by
late 1964* i.e.* a' year 'ahead of schedule.
4. Rolling Stock
a. As a result of the shortage of technicians and. of
replacement parts for the maintenance and repair of
electric locomotives, there are considerable
arrears in the repair of locc:::otivest,
b. The Tatra car plat in Studenka is producing six-axle
dump cars for tip-ling toward either side.. The. cars are
being built in conformity with Soln.ot designs. They
have a load capacity of 96 tons; their permissible
speed in 100 km/h.
