TVA Steam Plant
River Shipments
Same For 1958
TVA said recently that despite
greatly reduced Tennessee fUver
shipments of coal to TVA steam
plants the overall ton-mileage for
1968 was approximately the same
as in 1957.
The tonnage figure was about 5
pei cent lower.
On the whole the year's traffic
move nent s on the river were
"gratifying" TVA said.
Excluding the TVA coal ship
ments. and the relatively sfeart
haul stone, gravel and sanpl move
ments. tons were 18 per cent and
ton-miles 29.5 per cent greater than
in calendar 1957.
TVA reported that preliminary
figures indicate that the ton-milage
of 17 out of 26 classes of freight
shipped on the river increased over
the previous year.
In tonnage 17 out of SB showed an
increase, and rour categories were
approximately the same as the pre
vious year.
On the Tennessee River, the 2
.888,400 tons of stone, sand, and
gravel that moved went an aver
age of only 29 miles. Contrasting
this, the 1,746.800 tons of grain
and grain products went an aver
age of 427 miles: the 878.900 tons of
petroleum products an average of
409 miles; the 106.500 tons of as
phalt an average of 563 miles; and
the 24.200 tons of sulphur an aver
age of 282 miles. TVA steam plant
coal travels a relatively shod dis
tance an average of 137 miles.
During the year 11 river termin
als were completed, including ?
private terminals, and 3 public nee
terminals built by Alabama Stafe
