We thought you would be interested in knowing of the
care our returning wounded receive on hospital trains.
This is the procedure. We are asked by the Army or
Navy to make up a hospital train with various types of
cars. We assemble the cars, sometimes from distant
points. The can are inspected, thoroughly cleaned and
pre-heated.
The train is then moved to the hospital receiving sta
tion where the wounded are carefully taken aboard.
When the train pulls out, a Train Commander a
commissioned medical officer is in charge. To assist
him, we assign an experienced railroad representative to
accompany the train. On board, too, are Army or Navy
nurses and enlisted medical corpsmen who expertly cars
for the wounded, night and day.
En route, the engineers, firemen, conductors, brake
men ail the trainmen am thinking of every man
aboard. They know that sudden starts and stops can
cause discomfort to the wounded. That is why they try
to handle these hospital trains extra gently.

Dispatchers all along the line moke every effort to
keep hospital trains rolling with the fewest possible
stops.
- Schedules are worked out In advance. On movements
where some of the wounded are assigned to different
hospitals, a car or cars will be detached at junction
points. These cars will then be attached to regular trains
for movement to other hospitals.
Southern Pacific is keenly aware of its great responsi
bility in moving the wounded. Every skill is brought
into play to operate hospital trains smoothly, efficiently
and on time.
These are Southern Pacific's most important trains.
Many of the less critically wounded travel on our regular
trains. So if you find it difficult to secure a Pullman
reservation, even for essential travel, it may be because
some wounded man is occupying the space that other
wise might have been given to you. We know you'll
agree these reeervstions are more argent than yours.
