From an affidavit given before the US District Court for the Southern District of NY on behalf of the New York, Ontario and Western Ry. June 1944.

Noten D. Ballantine, being duly sworn, deposes and says:
"I am a Transportation Consultant, residing in New York City. I have been in railroad service since early youth and have progressively served different railroads as messenger, telegraph operator, stenographer, electrician, chemist, secretary to Chief Engineer and General Manager, ticket agent, auditor, and five years as Superintendent of Telegraph: with the Rock Island Lines 12 years, six as Superintendent of Car Service, and six as Assistant to the Vice President in charge of Maintenance and Operation.

During the first World War, I served three branches of the United States Army, as Major, Engineering Corps, as Lt. Colonel, Signal Corps, and as General Superintendent of Transportation of the American Expeditionary Force Transportation Corps in France. Upon my return to the United States, I was made Assistant Manager of the Car Service Division of the U.S.R,R. Administration, in charge of the distribution of all box cars.

When the roads were returned to owners, I served for three years as Superintendent of Transportation of the Union Pacific System, three years as Assistant to the President of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, and then opened an office in New York City. Among my work in the next few years was that in connection with the National Railways of Mexico, several months of the time being spent in field work, and five months in Guatemala and San Salvador on a report for the International Railways of Central America.

I served under the Honorable Joseph B. Eastman while he was Federal Coordinator of Transportation, first as Assistant Director, and later as Director of the Section of Car Pooling. Subsequently, I spent two years making studies on the New York Central Lines, and since then have been actively engaged in work in connection with Transportation economics. In the meantime, I was engaged by the I.C.C. Bureau of Statistics for special work in the preparation of their report in response to Senate Resolution 146, 76th Congress on the handling of L.C.L. and Forwarder carload traffic. Since February 1938,

I have been adviser to the Trustee of the property of New York, Ontario and Western Railway Company and as such I have become familiar with its railroad system, its operating and economic difficulties and have long been engaged in the study of the means whereby its traffic may be enlarged and its cost of operation relatively reduced."
