Foul weather
isn’t FAIR!
OTRANGE AS IT SEEMS, when foul weather
grounds commercial airplanes or makes high
way travel hazardous, complaints shower down on
the railroads!
Our regular customers complain because they
are inconvenienced when our passenger trains are »
suddenly called upon to handle three or four times
their normal load. Sometimes these good friends of
ours can’t even get aboard. And our foul-weather
friends criticize us because we don’t have enough
equipment to provide an adequate “stand-bv”
service for them.
This situation isn’t fair to anybody, including us
Of course we’d like to take care of everyone and
fiw fine service at all times! We could do that not
so long ago, when practically all travel was by rail
and we had the passenger equipment to handle any
job. But today, only five per cent of intercity travel
is by railroad and we simply cannot afford the
Iuiury of a foul-weather "stand-by” service-not
eo/v»nJ^mC*,r* buyin* surplus passenger cars, at
$200,000 tach, which would be standing idle most
ofthe tune.
We want you to understand our problem. And
ire want you to know you can count on our doing
****11^ C*°, with equipment we have
available-in fair or foul weather.
