L.\ID in one line, the Southern Railway System would stretch over the
top of the world from the capital of America to the capital of China.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific, it would span the United States three times.
But the 8000 miles of Southern lines are laid in a network of service to the South,
linking nearly all important Southern communities with each other and with the markets
of the world.
The Southern has grown with the South. Its development into one of the most efficient
tran?|K>rtation systems in the world has been made possible by the growth of the South ?
and has in turn laid the foundation for greater and more rapid progress of this great
eertioa in the future.
With a firm belief in the South's future, the Southern is constantly building ahead of
present needs. Tomorrow, as today and yesterday, the Southern will be prepared to serve
the South.
