continues to take its way

The Golden Empire served by Southern Pacific continues to
be the fastest-growing area in the United Slates. lYr.ffic on our 13.700
miles of linei In 8 slates has always shown how lha West grows. Here
are some of the latest signs:
I INDUSTRY 4,878 new industries havo located along Southern Pacific
lines since the end of World War II (see map below). Kor the past 25
years an average of one new induilry per day requiring spur frac aril
iliet hat located along S. P. Iine$. Since World War II that average has
been more than two per day.
AGRICULTURE The volume of all products of agriculture moved by
Southern Pacific annually rose from 8,262,044 tons in 1940 to 13,550,31 1
tons in 1950 an increase of nearly 64. America's largest dams are in
the Western empire, and coupled with the nation's most energetic pri
vate power companies, they have brought vast power for industry and
have accelerated Uie opening of new land.
PEOPLE Southern Pacific carried 9,220,054 passengers in 1940 and
12,455,483 in 1951 an increase of nearly 35. The population of our
8 "S. P Slates" (see map) was 18,467,411 in 1940 and 24,781.993 in 1950.
This 34 increase eras Vi times the national average, while California
alone accounted for one sixth of the nation's population increase. S. P's
advertising of the West induced many of these millions to settle here.
Our crack passenger streamliners actually brought many of them to
I heir now homes.
TOTAL MOVEMENT We moved 40 billion ton-miles of freight during
1951 -nearly as much as during 1944, tho peak year of World War II.
Parenthetically, we're proud that our rapidly diesolizing system set
its all-time efficiency record in hauling freight in 1951.
WHAT OF THE FUTURE? Peace or war. we think the economy of
the eight key "Southern Pacific Slates" is pretty solidly based upon
rich, diversified natural resources, upon expanding and diversified agri
cultural prodnction, and upon continually more diversified industries.
We of Southern Pacific are quite confident that tho course of empire
will continue its westward trend. We are proud lo be foremost in serving
that trend.
Southern Pacific it pub
