EShh Today, in their individual laboratories, and collectively, through the Associa- E tion of American Railroads, they are spending millions of dollars in a vast progrant BBS of research, experimentation, testing ond development on hundreds of projects to improve facilities, safety and service. Within a recent ten-year period they ex- H 3 pended $6,750,000 through the association alone. Since 1923, they have spent ESS more than seven billion, 400 million dollars for improvements and betterments that promote economy and efficiency of operation. E£|^S S i The Norfolk and Western Railway is in the front rank In the field of trani-' portation research and Improvement. It maintains extensive physical and chemical laboratories, equipped with the most modem facilities so( scientific exploration, 1 sfeIJSE supported by wide and varied field observation. In these laboratories, N. &W. KmS technicians last yeor made approximately 25,000 tests ond analyses of nearly % everything used by the railroad—the steel that goes Into the locomotives, cars, E5 fpsj roil, ond bridges; concrete, ballast, paint, lubricating oils, signals, brakes, draft IF gears, coal; water for passenger trains, construction camps and shops, and dozens E jp i* The Norfolk and Western was the first railroad to pioneer in heavy electric BISS traction. Its engineers were among the first to invent and put into practice a satisfactory method of tunnel ventilation. It pioneered in the use of wrought steel fLiS wheels for freight cars.
