But union leaders want "half-trains-double crews!
Big locomotives are built to do a big job
in the big country which is America—a
big job in peacetime as in wartime. They
are built to pull long trains.
Long freight trains can handle more
goods at less cost—to you—than short
trains.
Long trains mean fewer trains—fewer
chances for accidents—fewer interrup
tions to traffic.
But a few railroad union leaders op
pose long trains—among their current 44
demands for changes in rules is one limit
ing the length of freight trains to 67 aver
age cars. Why do they demand this?
For “safety,” they say. But is it?
Government figures show definitely
that long trains mean greater safety to
railroad employes and public alike.
Then, if safety is not the real reason—
what is the reason behind this demand?
It is to make more jobs which are not
needed—to get more pay! This “mad*
work” would be sheer waste. Think of big,
modem locomotives using only half their
power.
For this waste, you—the public—would
have to pay. Higher costs mean a lower
standard of living for everybody. No
body wants that!
Here’s the record.
In the quarter century... 1921-1946...

Average length of freight trains has
gone up.. • • •
