Suddenly your train stops.Ahead a signal light has turned red. The "talking fence" has flashed its warning to the engineer. Technically known as the "slide detector fence", it is erected parallel to Union Pacific tracks as a protection against falling rocks, trees or other possible obstructions. Any such object striking the fence breaks an electrical con tact, "setting up" signals miles down the track to warn trains approaching in either direction. A trainman must then make a thor ough inspection before trains can proceed. Union Pacific uses every possible precaution to safeguard its passengers and freight . ; ; troops and war materials . . . transported over its Strategic Middle Route uniting the East with the Pacific Coast. The "talking fence" is but one of the many safety devices developed by our nation's railroads. Such improvements result from enterprise and initiative; characteristic American traits that built the Union Pacific . . . that built Your America, land of equal opportunity for all.
