But, please do not count on miracle, for the nation's railways face to day the worst passenger travel congestion they've ever had ! You are entitled to know why train travel, particularly on Western lines, now is difficult and will continue to be so for at least 60 days. The principal reason is the accelerated rate at which service men ars being returned to the United States. This month more than 1 million men will be landed at Pacific and Atlantic ports. And, at least 90 per cent of them must and will be moved homeward by railway. There are two "rubs" in today's train travel picture. One is that railways have been called on to handle a vastly-increased volume of military traffic at a time when thousands of civilians, including students and teachers, plan to go home by train for the year-end holidays. The other and most important is that there just isn't enough railway passenger equipment to meet both military and civilian demands. The railways tackled their job in World War II with one-third fewer pas senger cars than they had in 1918. Construction of new passenger equipment by and for railways was not permitted after 1941. Great Northern has had five streamlined trains on order since 1943, but delivery cannot be made in time to relieve the present congestion. Nevertheless, demobilization transport must go ahead, and toward getting It done, railways are assigning three-fourths of all sleeping car space to troop movements. In addition, Great Northern and other Western lines have with drawn hundreds of sleepers, coaches and baggage cars from regular service for special troop train operations. In a single day more than 20 special troop trains are being moved on Great Northern alone. These include trainloads of eastbound service men and unoccupied equipment moving west to pick up troops awaiting transportation. It's going to be difficult to obtain train accommodations to and from al most anywhere in the next several weeks. Leaving would-be passengers be hind makes no one happy, and crowded conditions on trains are not conducive to comfort. Public transportation is Great Northern's business. During the travel congestion period, which already has begun, the railway will provide ci vilians, the most effective service possible while we finish our war job the job which won't be finished until the last man is home.
