You may be interested in what the Illinois Central is doing to prepare for it. We have added 5,377 new freight cars in 1940-41, and 2,400 more will be delivered before the end of the year.

Our stepped-up repair program has produced a record low of only 1.8 per cent of freight cars out of service. Locomotives have been overhauled and improved, with greater coal and water capacities, increased speed and tractive effort. Running tracks have new rail, new ties, new ballast; sidings have been lengthened; new yard and storage tracks are being provided, plus added trackage to serve defense plants and army posts. To get the utmost out of what we have calls for HEADS UP railroading. We pledge ourselves to conserve materials and cars and time in every way we can.

Shippers and receivers of freight can assist greatly by loading cars to capacity, loading and unloading cars promptly and moving this summer whatever they can such as coal to lighten the demand later on. With the help of our patrons, ON WHOM WE SHALL GREATLY DEPEND, we hope to carry through to the benefit of our country's needs and of our railroad's reputation. the children make the load easier both in the field' and the home.
