The car’s crew made all needed minor repairs to its interior during the year, 
one of the most economically valuable changes effected being in the arrangement 
of the air pipes in the fish compartments so that it is now possible to aerate 230 
aluminum fish pails instead of seventy 10-gallon cans and 100 aluminum fish pails, 
thereby increasing the carrying capacity of the car. 
CAR NO. 9 
[H. F. Jounston, Captain] 
At the beginning of the fiscal year car No. 9 was stationed at Washington, 
D. C., the members of its crew being on detail at the central office of the bureau. 
On July 12 the car proceeded to White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., for the purpose 
of completing the distribution from that station for the season of 1926. The load 
of trout obtained was delivered to applicants at Cowan, W. Va., and by means 
ore logging train were transported from Cowan to various points along the Gauley 
iver.
