SSENGER MILE
The universal unit of traveler transporta
tion is the passenger mile. Last year Great
Northern trains rolled up the astronomical
total of 1 billion 108 million passenger
miles equivalent to transporting one
person that distance.
And, patronage in 1944 likely will eclipse
last year's record!
Many things make possible Great North
ern 's history-making volume of passenger
miles: maintenance of roadbed, bridges
and signals . . . hundreds of locomotives
and cars ... thousands of men in hundreds
of jobs along the line, in yards, shops and
terminals.
All are co-ordinated to make Great North
ern passenger service dependable 'and
passenger miles comfortable and safe.
