Have you ever noticed that whenever
two trains pass, freight or passenger,
a trainman will signal, with hand or
lantern, to the trainman at the rear of
the other train?
This is not merely a friendly gesture.
Each man makes a careful visual in
spection of the other's train while it
passes. Then he signals that all is well
or that he has spotted some defect.
This is just one phase of a continuous
"check and double check" system. All

UNION PACIFIC
RAILROAD
Union Pacific trains are thoroughly In
spected before leaving terminal points
... all station agents check each train
as it passes. Even track crews, along
the right of way, are alert to spot any
sign of trouble.
Thus, Union Pacific trains are checked
time and time again as they transport
passengers and freight over the Stra
tegic Middle Route, uniting the East
with the mid-West and the Pacific
coast
