Meet the 'workhorse'
of the railroads
Not glamorous, not a "show-off"
the unpretentious box car. You never
ee it bristling with Sherman tanks, 105 mm howitzers,
10-ton trucks and jeeps, like the flat cars and gondolas.
It'a just a modest workhorse doing one of the biggest
war transportation jobs of all.
When you see a mile-long string of box cars, Just think
cf this. These plain, unassuming cars are carrying the
war to Japan. Inside are airplane engines, parts to out
fit ships, medical supplies for our men In the Pacific,
millions of tons of foodstuffs and ammunition and small
arms.
F or nearly all the war cargo that goes to sea, goes by
rail first. And this huge transportation job ia just as
important as fast production in our war factories.
Tbe humble box car bast aymbolizoa the fact that
transportation is not the Job of one railroad. It'a the job
of all railroads working closely together pooling their
reaourcea and exchanging equipment and facilities.
That la why you see on Southern Pacific rails the box
can of nearly every railroad in the country New York
Central, Erie, Lit N, Illinois Central, Northern Pacific,
Union Pacific, Burlington, Rock Island, Pennsylvania,
Southern, Western Pacific, and Santa Fa to name just
a few.
As the pressure on Japan increases, you will sea an
Increasing number of war freights rolling on Southern
Pacific's 16,000 milos of inf. Tbnt'a because Southern
Pacific serves tho major West Coast porta of embarka
tion and more military and naval establishments than
any other railroad.
When you see these freight cars, representing- almost
very railroad, let It remind you how all tha railroads
are working closely together to dolivor tha atul our
fighting men need on timet
