Railroad Week, June 10
an inevitable occasion.
The historical background, involv-
ing the ‘winning of the west,’ largely
through the help of the iron horse,
and the epic drama of the west’s ele-
vation from wilderness to the highest
civilized plane in the world within a
few decades, is an important feature
of the coming week. But essentially
the purpose of the celebration is to
concentrate public interest on the tre-
mendous improvements which have
been made in rail service on the west-
ern lines. It is the opinion of many
mechanical experts that greater prog-
ress has been made within a given
period by these rail systems than by
any other form of transportation.
In the matter of increased speed
western lines have recently made
transportation history. Diesel-driven
stream line trains, steam operated
‘standard’ trains as well, have cut
down the running time between im-
portant points to a stage where the
problem now is one of accomodating
eager would-be passengers, instead of
one of attracting patronage. These
new era lightning ‘runs’, beneficial
especially to hurried business men,
are forerunners of other fast sched-
ules to be inaugurated eventually
throughout the western railroad net-
work.
Along with speedier transit, the
western railroads are maintaining
their unequalled record for safety,
plus superior dependability. The safe-
ty ‘odds’ in favor of the railroad pas-
senger on western routes are so high
that, statistically speaking, he is
safer on the train than he is while
encountering the hazards which, in-
surance figures show, exist in his own
home. Installation of automatic block
signals, heavy steel rails, solid heav-
ily ballasted'roadbed and steel cars
insure maximum safety.
A forward step accomplished by
the western railroads which has im-
proved riding comfort 100 per cent is
the introduction of perfected air con-
ditioning equipment throughout all
“Air conditioning offers freedom
from the usual travel noises. In fact,
conversation among passengers is a
pleasure; windows, ventilators, and
all the usual openings being sealed
against outside sound. It is a remark-
able thing that cases of asthma and
hay fever have been almost instantly
relieved aboard air conditioned trains,
since the filtered air is free from
pollen and other irritating impurities.
Millions of dollars have been spent,
thousands of men and women have
jbeen given employment, by these im-
provements, which have proved to be
a notable contribution to the nation’s
economic recovery.
In line with this program of prog
western excursionists this summer is
the Pacific International Exposition,
which opens in Balboa Park, San
Diego, California, May 29. In a gen-
eral way the summer vacation tickets
are on sale from May 15 until late
November. Unlimited stopover privi-
leges are allowed within these dates.
Fares for side trips have either been
reduced or the cost-eliminated.
