Big locomotives are built to do a big job
in the big country which is America a
big job in peacetime as in wartime. They
are built to pull long trains.
Long freight trains can handle more
goods at less cost to you than short
trains.
Long trains mean fewer trains fewer
chances for accidents fewer interrup
tions to traffic.
But a few railroad union leaders op
pose long trains among their current 44
demands for changes in rules is one limit
ing the length of freight trains to 57 aver
age cars. Why do they demand this?
I
.xvw& wi few-a rzzzz
For "safety," they say. But is it?
Government figures show definitely
that long trains mean greater safety t
railroad employes and public alike.
Then, if safety is not the reai reason
what is the reason behind this demand?
It is to make more jobs which are not
needed to get more pay! This "mad
work" would be sheer waste. Think of big,
modern locomotives using only half their
power.
For this waste, you the public would
have to pay. Higher costs mean a lower
standard of living for everybody. No
body u-ants that!
Here's the record . . .
In lh quarter century . . . I92W944 . . .
Average length of freight trains ha
gone up
392
Average speed of freight trains hat gone up.. 39,0
The rale of Injuries to railroad employes has
gone flown
Average wages paid railroad workers have
gone up
Price of railroad materials and supplies has
gone up
Raiiroad taxes have gone up.
