It's now better than ever, and constantly being improved. For example, our freight train No. 153 travels the route of our fine passenger train, "The Crescent," from Washington, D. C., to Atlanta. Ga., and its schedule is only 2 hours longer. Shippers save a day! Many other stepped-up freight schedules now in operation benefit not only Southern Railway shippers but yon as an individual, too. For even though you may never use it directly, the kind of mass transportation that serves your community can affect your home, your family, your job. Inadequate transportation is a drag on economic development. Good, dependable, all-weather service helps a locality prosper and grow. That's w hy aggressive, on-its-toes railroading like \ this is so important to the growing Southland. And to you! iSmL prrtldrnl SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM washington, d. c.
