Private automobiles were abandoned. Planes were grounded. Rivers were choked with ice. But no matter what came out of the wintry skies, thousands had to be fed and kept warm; factories had to run; raw materials had to be moved; people had to travel.

Every hour of every day and in the dead of night, through storms and bitter cold, across mountains and plains, through valleys, trains moved safely and efficiently thousands of cars of food, fuel and other vital supplies; and tens of thousands of snowbound travelers, Throughout the entire period of extreme winter, every train of the Norfolk and Western Railway went through. Not one passenger train, not one freight train was canceled. Thus the railroads haye agaJn demonstrated their dependability, their adequacy and their ability to meet efficiently any transportation emergency.
