Rain and shine, day and night, troop trains and war freight . . . tank cars and passenger trains . . . are rolling continuously and swiftly on the Southern. It's a big job ... a tough job... a vital job. But it's being done . . . and done right! That's why Tom and the other men and women of the Southern are tired when they go home from the job these days . . . and " proud of it.
