Over-Night
Pullman Service Affects
To Farmers or
But It Means More Sleeping Cars for Veterans
Operation of over-night Sleeping cars from Portland to Southern Oregon points and to
Coos Bay points will be discontinued with the last trip from Portland, Friday, July
13th and from destination points, Saturday, July 14th, by Order No. 52 of the United
States Office of Defense Transportation.
The new regulations eliminate all Pullman sleeping tars operating for
of 450 miles or less.
• The .reason for this order is that additional sleeping cars must be obtained to
provide accommodations for the returning veterans from Europe, who are reaching
Atlantic ports in large numbers. These veterans „are coming home for discharge, or
for furlough before going on to fight again in th* Pacific.
They deserve the most
comfortable transportation service we can give them.
%
No new sleeping cars have been built since Pearl Harbor. Over half of the
sleeping cars have beep in exclusive use by the military. But they were not enough for
this new task. The O. D. T. order resulted.
•
While discontinuance of short distance sleeping car operations will cause inconven
ience to many people, we feel that the citizens of Oregon will approve this effort to better
serve the men from overseas to whom we owe so much. We know the families of these
Oregon boys who are coming home will have no question as to the merit of this new reg
ulation.

FIRST with th* LATEST Aircraft
A§ far as Southern Pacific is concerned, our guiding principle has been “The Mill-
tary comes first,’’ and we are cooperating 100 per cent in carrying out the provisions
of the above O. D. T. order. ^Vith nearly 20.00C Southern Pacific men and women in
the armed forces we, too, have a real and personal interest in the welfare and com
fort of service men and women.
