2a During Parch 1948, 793 freight cars containing 13,479 tons of cement were
dispatched from Gbschw Ltz. Most of this cement was delivered as reparations.
In February 194 8, 663 cars containing 10,162 tons of cement were dispatched from
Glisctraitz. In March 3.948, 681 carloads of cement (10,415 tons) were shipped out
of Karsdorf. I't~AI '-aa xe carloads were for industrial uses while 600 anent on the
reparations account?
3. Reichsbahn Directorat:> Erfurt shipped 102 carloads of fluorspar out of the
district in March 191~'~a Seventy-four carloads were sent to Kaliningrad.
4.. Six thousand carloads of lumber were shipped out of the Erfurt district during
March 1948. This oomlares favorably with the shipments of the previous r.ontb
(6,,206 carloads) but falls below the assigned quota of 7,285 carloads for the
month of March. In February 8131% of the quota was net. Most of the lumber
consisted of pulp wood and sawn timber for the reparations account. A shortage of
freight cars for the t:ransporti:ag of firewood has caused the accumulation of
lumber at the sidings and felling sites.
