WHEN YOU OF -THINK OF THINK I Ci KIDS Vestern Good Clean Coal Fuel Oil Phone 2831 "Come our down yard" to Come the of Things Shape Here is the cross section of a new, improved railroad rail.

It looks very much like any other rail. Actually, it has basic advantages, proved by more than three years' testing on thirty miles of Burlington main line. This is the Torsion-Resisting by Burlington engineers. It is important, not only for what it is, but for the particular kind of railroad progress which it typifies. For like so many of the vital railroad improvements which have become realities over the years, this Torsion -Resisting Rail lacks the glamor to bring it into the spotlight of public attention and acclaim.

Railroading is like that.

"Use of the atom for such purposes would be impractical because of the cost. and the limited supply," Dr. Hoffman declared. "I think it will be a long time before we will be able to run our automobiles, light and heat our homes and operate railroads on atomic energy," he asserted. He also predicted that other nations can have the atomic bomb developed in two years if they 50 desire, The speaker declared that the A-bomb was developed in the United States first only because we had the money and manpower to work on every possible angle.

"There are several ways to obtain atomic power. We had crews working on every possible method and the one that was perfected first was used. It may not be. the best, but it found first--and that is what counted." C. E.

PAUL VENABLES 110 Main Street Winona, Minnesota A Because our new building at 110 Main street has not been completed as yet, we are temporarily showing "the new Pontiac" at our USED CAR LOCATION 76 East 2nd Street Used are you 110 21 A ON SIDELIGHT THE Comb goods and chattels, were re-located by The Milwaukee Railroad's Agricultural Development Department and other agencies, So the way was cleared for what was orginally called the "Hanford Project." The vast extent of this project may be gauged through the fact that between April 1, 1943, and July 31, 1945, The Milwaukee Road delivered 41,633 carloads of freight equal to a freight train 350 miles long at relocated Hanford. Most of the scientific equipment and industrial material hauled westward over the electrified route of The Milwaukee Road, through the ranges of the Rockies, and then into the Saddle Mountains that flank the Cascades on the east.

From Beverly, Washington, on the main line, a steady stream of oddly assorted freight moved twenty one miles down the branch to Hanford, where it was delivered to a short line rail. road operated by the government in the restricted area. Few indeed, other than The Milwaukee Road men who operated the heavy freight trains, had any knowl. edge of the magnitude of the devel. epment that was under way, The production of a new weapon, the impact of which would smash all existing concepts of war and peace, was a well guarded secret.

Only America's railroads had the capacity and flexibility which enabled the government, science and industry to marshall the nation's resources anywhere, in any quantity, for any undertaking, no matter. how gigantic. never notice. But they're on the jobin the cause of better transportation. And that's how.

it is with this new Torsion Resisting which the Burlington offers as a significant contribution to better railroading for all America. What the Torsion-Resisting Rail Offers: 1 Narrower bead. Less leverage exerted by wheels. 2 Stronger fillets for greater strength. 3 Better weight distribution permits greater height, resulting in subetantially increased stiffness of rail.

This distributes load more evenly over more ties. 4 Permits improved joint bar design. Burlington Route THE tick of the telegraph key in The Milwaukee Road station a at Hanford, Washington, broke the between -trains quiet of a February day in 1943. Over the wire came message that caused the agent on this peaceful branch to doubt his ears. And little wonder! For the government was asking that the six hundred families of the Hanford and White Bluffs communities be moved up the tracks--lock, stock and barrel.

Now, at last, the story may be told. The flash to Hanford was only the beginning. Government removal orders finally resulted in the abandonment of 600 square miles of land in the Priest Rapids and Richland areas of the Columbia River Valley. More than 1,800 families, with their Moving material for a weapon to end all weapons moving teninch guns from coast to coast at remarkable speeds hauling PT boats from factory to sea speeding millions and millions of our fighting men to their destinations or carrying boat loads of servicemen's Christmas packages to transoceanic ports are examples of wide variety of jobs which only the railroads are capable of performing.
