“ONLY IN AMERICA”
In view of erroneous and
misleading statements appear-
ing in recent magazine articles
and on the radio about rail-
road-safety, H is well to rec-
ord facts brought to light by
the American Museum of Safe-
ty in presenting the E. H. Har-
riman Memorial Award, and
Certificate of Special Com-
mendation to American rail-
roads for 1943s in recognition
of their outstanding contribu-
te i to the war effort They
met their obligations to the
public and established a nota-
ble safety record in the face of
unprecedented conditions.
, It is most fortunate that this
award should come just now to
focus attention on the fact that
the railroad* are doing twice
as big a job as they did in the
tost world war. with only a
quarter the at 'eut fatality
rate to passe n. ns and em-
ployes.
In accepting the Special
Award from the American Mu-
seum of Safety, i. $. Pelley,
President of the Association
of American Railroads, point-
ed out that on the railroads to
which this award was mad°
there traveled every day ir.
194S nearly nlwo and a half
million passengers for an av-
erage journey of 100 miles
each. More than four million
tons of freight were hauled an
average of nearly 500 miles.
This required over 35,000
trains a day. In conjunction
with such an achievement,
they eut their accident fatality
rate,'to both passengers and
employes, virtually three-
fourths below the war year
1918.
Commenting on the way
railroads have met the prob-
lems of World War H, Brida-
dier General Carl R. Gray, Jr.,
now serving in the Mediler-
- ranean war zone, says: "It is
our belief that only in Ameri-
ca could freight trains run 56
per cent faster and carry 40
per cent more tons than they
did in 1920. Only in America
could 55 per emit more freight
be handled than in,World War
I, with a half-million fewer
freight cars and with 22,000
fewer locomotives. Only In
America could a rail transpor-
tation system absorb 'the tre-
mendous amount of additional
passenger business occasioned
by gasoline and rubber short-
ages, and then satisfactorily
handle, in addition, two mil-
lion soldiers and sailors a
month.
“We railroad men in North
Africa and Italy recognize and
are proud of the achievement
of our.fellow rail workers hack
home, and express our adju-
ration of, and sincerest con-
gratulations to you all for the
remarkable job of rail trans-
portation you are performing.”
