ELK INS, prop. Phone 134-R Murphy, N. C. NOW IT CAN BE TOLD! Remember those dark days in early 1942, when the Axis tide of conquest was spreading over the world like a plague? That was when the Trans portation Corps of the War Depart ment asked the Southern Railway System to teach the fine art of rail roading to American soldiers who would some day have the job of operating military railroads in a dis tant "theatre of operations." The Southern's rails were already beginning to hum with a record vol ume of wartime traffic. Nevertheless, a "school" was made available for the soldier-railroaders, without charge, on the 200-mile main line of the Southern between New Orleans and Meridian, Miss. Instruc tion cars and other special facilities were provided, and veteran Southern officers and employes volunteered to serve as "teachers." OnMarch 18, 1942, the training was begun. And from that day to the end of January, 1945, soldier-railroaders worked alongside skilled Southern officers and employes throughout this 200-mile long "school" ... on trains, in shops and roundhouses... on tracks, in offices and yards . . . learning to work together as a team . . . learning to railroad? by railroading. To date we have been privileged to train, not only our own famous Southern-sponsored 727th Railway Operating Battalion, but also three other battalions and the personnel of a replacement school ... in all, some 6,000 officers and men. The record shows, too, that when these soldier -railroaders graduated from our "school" and went overseas, they added brilliant new chapters to the history of military railroading on the battlefronts of World War II. So, as these soldier-railroaders go highballing down the mainline to final Victory, it is with understandable! pride that we mention this extra war job of the Southern Railway System . . . now that it can be told. ?w?47 ?? hlllilH SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM (Jj?
