A. study of photography was undertaken

to determine if there was evidence in Shang-hai of congested rail facilities
or of freight piling up for lack of cars and efficient loading and unloading
facilities. The rail and storage facilities of Shang-hai did not appear to
be over taxed on Less than 20 percent of the effective yard
trackage appeared to be occupied by freight cars. Nearly all of the total
of 982 cars counted on hotography were closed or covered, with
very few gondolas, flat cars, and engines in evidence. The quality
of the- photography precludes detailed rail car counts.
This photography was also studied to determine what changes had
been made in the rail and storage systems of Shang-hai since-
the date of the ATMP material, and during hen a
number of new rail and storage facilities were constructed. Facilities
are located on the accompanying map of the Shang-hai area, and des-
cribed in the following annotations. Areas indicated as newly constructed
have been built since =unless otherwise noted.
