Out on the line, December 25 will be as busy as any
other day on the Southern Pacific. It won t be much of a holiday for our men at
the front, either. The enemy doesn t stop shooting just because it's Christmas.
This Christmas Day and night we shall keep the war trains rolling, just as we
have kept them rolling every day and night since Pearl Harbor.
To all the travelers and shippers we served this year our heartfelt thanks for
your sympathetic understanding of our problems, and the cheerful way you
accepted the inconvenience of wartime transportation.
In sending you the Season’s Greetings, we join with you in praying that next
Christmas will be celebrated in a world of peace.
Civilians! To avoid disappointment please don't plan a holiday
trip on Southern Pacific trains. Let a man in unifoim go instead.
