N o t glamorous, not a "show-off” —
the unpretentious box car. You never
see it bristling with Sherman tanks, 105 mm howitzers,
10-ton trucks and jeeps, like the flat cars and gondolas.
I t’s just a modest workhorse—doing one of the biggest
war transportation jobs o f all.
When you see a mile-long string of box cars, just think
of this. These plain, unassuming care are carrying the
war to Japan. Inside are airplane engines, parts to out­
fit ships, meuicai supplies for our men in the Pacific,
millions of tons of foodstuffs and ammunition and small
arms.
For nearly all the war cargo that goes to sea, goes by
rail first. And this huge transportation job is just as
important as fast production in our war factories.

transportation is not the job of one railroad. I t’s the job
o f all railroads working closely together—pooling their
resources and exchanging equipment and facilities.
T hat is why you see on Southern Pacific rails the box

As the pressure on Japan increases, you will see an
increasing number of war freights rolling on Southern
Pacific’s 15,000 miles of line. T hat’s because Southern
