On 20 December 1950, it was learned from department chiefs of the DDR
Reichsbahn Directorate General that no efforts had been made as of that
date to concentrate flatcars in specific railroad districts. All flat-
cars continue to be distributed evenly among the Reichsbahn Directorates.
Only the Kabelwerk Berlin-Obersch8neweide was assigned an unusually large
number of flatcars.
