Rail Shipments Are Expedited To PortBy Houston Belt and Terminal System

In 1905, an already mushroomingindustrial complex in [-Iouston placeda heavy burden on the city’s transporta-tion facilities.

Railroad leaders in the communitysaw a need for a co-operative railwayservice to exDedite the mass movementof commodities in and out of Houston--using existing track of the variousrailroads on an interchange basis.

Thus the Houston Belt and TerminalRailway Co. was born.

The new company formed around anucleus of property owned in Houstonbv the Santa Fe, which was leased toH’.B. and T. for 99 years.

At that time, Houston had a popula-tion of only 79,000, and the H.B. andT., after a year’s service, served only 10industries.

Today the "Belt" system has gro~.nfrom a score of miles of track and ahandful of employees to an organizationwith 200 miles of track, 1600 employeesand an ammal payroll of $10 million.

The Belt today serves more than 600industries.

Ship Channel industries are served bythe Port Terminal Railroad Associationwhich makes an interchange with theH.B. & T. in the North Yards.

The member lines of the Belt--SantaFe, Missouri Pacific, Rock Island andBurlington--pour approximately $6 mil-lion into Houston’s eeonomy in expendi-tures for supplies, said J. T. Alexan-der, president and general manager.

"The Belt system has contributedgreatly to the Houston area’s industrialgrowth," said Alexander.

From an infant system that first op-erated over 20 miles of Santa Fe trackbetween Galveston and Houston, the

Belt’s member lines now have connectingroads to every corner of the nation.

The H.B. and T. has an elastic ex-pansion program geared to keep pacewith the constant industrial growth ofthis area.

New ChemicalPlant Is Started

The Marbon Chemical Division ofthe Borg-Warner Corp. has announcedplans to build a plant at Baytowu toproduce 75 million pounds of styrenea vear.

The plant will be erected adjacent tothe huge Humble Baytown Refinery atan estimated cost of $5 million.

Its raw material, ethyl-benzene, willbe provided by the Humble refinery.

Construction of the Baytown plant isexpected to be completed early in 1963.

Recently another styrene plantreached its full capacity of 70 millionpounds a year. This is the plant oper-ated by the Sinclair-Koppers ChemicalCorp. on La Porte Rt. Near Allen-Genoa Rd.

Styrene is a major ingredient in syn-thetic rubber and plastics.

The Borg-Warner Corp. operates aplastics plant near Parkersburg, W. Va.,

and Marbon produces high-styrene re-iuforcing resins for the rubber industryat Gary, Ind.

Meet Edna Mae

MALDEN OF THE SEA GETS FACE LIFTINGMiss Edna May is a real sweetheart.

She’s just turned 24, but doesn’t look aday over sweet 16. You don’t have tohave a seaman’s eye to appreciate herfull round curves and trim beauty. Andthe proud way she carries herself is apleasure to behold.

Edna May first took up with seafaringmen on July 31, 1937. Now, almost aquarter-century later, she reigns as thesweetheart of the fleet.

Born in the Platzer Shipyard, EdnaMav was named for another beautifulnative Houstonian, Miss Edna MayParker. This Edna May is Captain BillParker’s daughter. Now her name haschanged to Mrs. Norman Busse.

From the first, Edna May’s life hasbeen an interesting one. The warm wa-ters of tile Gulf of Mexico were hercradle. She teethed on the white spill ather bow. Barges of oyster shell were herplaymates. She ran before the tide andcavorted in the whitecaps with the bestof them. In those good years the GulfCoast was her playground.

Sometimes it was rough. Back beforethe Intracoastal Canal was completed, itwas all blue-water work for the ParkerBrothers’ tugs. Edna May early had op-portunity to test her mettle against thestorm-swept sea. She was called on tomake several runs out in rough weatherafter dredges in danger. She always man-aged to bring them in safely.

Then came the great war. Like otherseagoing folk, Edna May turned to withcharacteristic fervor. With Captain O. V.Parker at the helm, Edna May estab-lished a reputation for dependability asshe towed crude oil barges from HighIsland through submarine-infested wa-ters to Chalmette, Louisiana.

One adventure during the War standsout in Edna May’s memory. It occurredin October, 19’1.2. The word came in--"Hurricane! Tug sunk, Barge Petroleum#1 adrift--filled with water and aban-doned." It was urgent that this bargebe recovered. So out went Edna May,with Captain George Singleton on watch,and Captain Briscoe Parker aboard tosupervise the salvage operations. Thebarge was found driven onto the beachbetween Point Bolivar and High Island.

It was night when Edna May ran into the beach to effect the salvage. Opera-tions were more difficult because of thewartime blackout which precluded theuse of lights. Captain Briscoe got pumpsaboard the barge and pumped her out.

Captain Briscoe relates that the mosqui-toes were so thick you could hardly see.

Then Edna May took hold and slippedthe barge neatly off the beach. Severalhours later Edna May nudged the sal-vaged barge snugly up against pier 18at Galveston. It was a rough, dangerousjob "well done."

As you know by now, Edna May isone of the nine tugs in the Parker Broth-ers fleet. She operates out of Houston.Her Captain now is Captain E. W. Ewald.She carries a crew of nine. Edna Mayspends most of her time towing oystershell to Houston. She makes the 200mile trip in from the reefs in about 44hours, with three loaded barges in tow.

Recently, Edna May came out of theyard after extensive rebuilding and re-fitting. Her wheelhouse was raised, so thehelmsman can see over barges piled highwith oyster shell. Aso in the wheelhouse,there is a new hydraulic steering gear,

and new radar. An all-new bottom wasbuilt and fitted in the yard. Edna Maywas lengthened by 72 inches, and herstern was changed from round to square.These changes give Edna May more sta-bility for pushing, and make her easierto handle under load.

But the biggest change came in theengine room. A powerful new GM tan-dem V-12-71 engine installation wasmade by Stewart & Stevenson Services.Inc., Houston. Some features of the newpropulsion system are 5 to 1 Falk reduc-tion gears, a 66" by 48" four blade pro-peller, and a Westinghouse air-controlledpneumatic brake on the propeller shaft.This brake operates automatically fromthe wheelhouse. When direction is shiftedthe air brake stops rotation of the shaft.then releases it to begin turning withopposite rotation. The object is to cutshock on the engine, and to give quickresponse.

Eighteen pre-engineered steel build-lugs, which will serve as the major dis-play area for a big Caribbean trade fairand exposition this spring, have beenshipped from the Port of Houston bythe Metallic Building Company.

Bound for the island of Barbadoswhere the): will be erected for the 1962West Indies Federation Fair. these pre-fabricated buildings represent one of thelargest such orders shipped from thePort, tonnagewise. Total weight is ap-promiately 325,000 lbs.

Ranging in size. when erected, from20 x 10 feet to 80 × 200 feet. the Metallicbuildings will offer o~er 100,000 en-closed square fret of display area.

The buildings also will add to the eveappeal of the Fair as they will be con-structed of blue and green wall panelsand topped with white panel roofs. Panelcolors are vinyl, baked on at the factoryover galvanizing, to give added protec-tion against wear and corrosion.

Opening date for the Barbados expo-sition is March 2. Virtually every islandand country in the Caribbean will berepresented with an exhibit of productsand wares.

The new prefahrieated structures arethe first of their type on Barbados, al-though not the first used by the Fairwhose silo rotates every three years be-tween Jamaica, Trinidad and Barbados.Last year Metallic supplied two buiht-lugs for the exhibits held on Jamaica.

Port’s Emergency Plan Is Praised By Governmentager, who had a big part in its prep-aration.

Turner said, "The plan we submittedsets out how to keep the port going andthe ships and cargoes moving in andout in the event of the Port beingpartially disabled as for example by anear-miss of atom bomb or after apartial bombing.

"It deals with problems which mightarise if other ports were bombed andships had to be diverted here.

"In fact, this plan envisages all thetypes of emergencies that might ariseshort of a complete knock-out."

The Port of Houston was commendedfor its disaster plan covering operationsin the event of an atom bomb attackor other national emergency.

Donald W. Alexander, federal mari-time administrator, sent a letter of com-mendation to J. P. Turner, generalmanager of the Port, for completingthe plan.

Alexander said the plan and thoseof other Ports represent "a significantcontribution to national preparedness."
